Checking in Cascadas without a reservation?

My next trip to HK is March 12th - 14th. I always book the room reservation in advance. This time one of the guys in HK said he would get me a free room for one night. So I booked the same room I always stay in, Master Suite which is $185 Saturday the 12th. If I booked the room online for both Saturday and Sunday they would definitely give me the free room Sunday night which is $130 instead of Saturday $185. My VIP card just expired and what I use it for really only benefits me on the room discount. (I don't care about a free drink every 12 hours or 20% off at Azul) Because I'll only be paying for one night its not worth renewing the VIP card this trip.
Here is my question..... When I show up Saturday the 12th my room ($185) should be free. The following morning I'll tell them I'm staying Sunday night too so I'll just pay the $130 for that night. (Im assuming) Have any of you checked in Cascadas without having a room reserved? If so did you get the run around? (rooms will be available Sunday night)

I'm asking because the first time I went, I was checking in and they told me the only room available was $395. They didn't know I had a room reserved but I also know they had plenty of rooms available. It was a Monday night.

Are you a white guy? I've gone on a Friday before and got a single without a reservation. I might have been lucky as I have reserved a room every other time

I will play along and comment on your discussion.

The reason you are asking, is because you already know it doesn’t make sense.

Usually when business offer buy one get one free, is of the same or lesser value for the free one.

Why don’t you call the person that made you the offer and ask him? Because you know it doesn’t make sense.

And it is a great coincidence that your VIP card “just expired”.

You can always bargain with the people at the hotel when you make your reservation over the phone, in most cases they will give you a discount rather than have empty rooms if they know what to expect.

You seem to like to make things more complicated than they are, like you enjoy the “drama”.

““If you want to be successful (at something or anything), find out what the price is (bargain and haggle if you want/can) and then pay it.”

Have a safe trip to The Happiest Place on Earth (according to Krusty)

@CJKent_band - Actually it makes perfect sense seeing as though they never offered me buy one get one. Those are your words. And I guess it is a great coincidence my VIP card just expired Feb 28th. But honestly I was just looking for drama so thank you for your contribution. :)

I have seen people turned away at the desk on any given day. Sunday is probably our best possibility of getting a room on-the-fly, because the discount is only 20%. I was at the sister hotel, Rizo, across the street this week and they were booked solid on a Monday night. Tuesday wasn't much better for walk-ins.

You must have done somebody a big favor to get a free room at Cascadas. They are all about the money.

Be interesting to find out your result, so please post.

I am assuming that the Monday night heavy booking is the result of the larger VIP discount.

@PutaTester - Yeah well the guy that gave me a free room I'm sure know's he's going to get a $20 tip for it. I was surprised he offered it to me. That's amazing the place is sold-out on Monday nights. I always go Sunday to Wednesday. Not a fan of the weekends. To many people. I accidentally booked the flight on Saturday instead of Sunday. Oh well. Always a good time. I'll keep you posted on the result.

LOL; I am just kidding.

How did you “accidentally booked the flight on Saturday instead of Sunday”?

“We are all prone to overestimating our abilities, to making impulsive decisions, and to lapses of attention.

This simple realization makes stupid mistakes seem, perhaps, a little less stupid — and a little more human.”

VIP Expired on same as me...yet we never linked up that same day we got the card lol. I would maybe book a reservation at Rizo as a "just incase" scenario if you can't get in on the fly at Cascadas? Not sure if they use the same system for reservations and can track both hotels at same time by a name search.

@greenbeans... I wish I could make it! Still a retirement party? lol

@besmitty - Yeah I figure I should be okay because it’s Sunday night I’ll ask for the room and I’ll do it Sunday morning. I figure it’s not a 70% off night for VIP members Sunday night so I’m thinking the same room I’m already in will be available the following night. If not, I’ll just tip someone at the front desk to make it happen. I’ll start and $10 and go up to $50 if I have to. Nobody will say no to that. I think the room will be available anyway.
@Greenbeans - bummer I’m missing you by a day. Monday and Tuesday are my favorite nights. Lots of ladies. Not a lot of customers. Perfect time to be there.
