No sooner had we expressed doubts that <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Indigo+Glasgow/local/4829"><b>Hotel Indigo Glasgow</b></a> would be opening on schedule last Monday, what with the website not accepting bookings and no staff around to answer the phone when we called to reserve, someone from the hotel told us <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/4/14/21388/9173/hotels/Hotel_Indigo_Glasgow_May_Not_Be_Picking_Up_The_Phone_As_Scheduled_On_Monday#1">we were wrong</a>, and that the hotel did in fact open as planned on 18 April. Our bad. Maybe having some staff on rezzie duty three days before opening might have solved that confusion. <p><strong>Anyways, a room tonight will set you back £129</strong>, whereas last time we checked, they were going for £115.

This time it&#146;s the turn of the <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/4829'><B>Hotel Indigo Glasgow</b></a>, which was scheduled to open on Monday. Only problem is, that although the <a href="http://www.hotelindigoglasgow.com/">website</a> states that the opening date is on track, it isn&#146;t showing any availability until the following Monday, 25 April. <p>It does, however, have a note saying that for reservations before 2 May, you're meant to call them. So, to give them the benefit of the doubt, we gave them a call today (during office hours - at 3pm Glasgow time no less) and found the phone ringing, ringing... and going straight to voicemail. Not answering the phone at 3pm?
