Hotel site says full but discount sites say "available".
Has anyone else run into this situation? Travelocity, etc. show the hotel to be available. I won't call the hotel directly as it's in the UK. I could e-mail them, I suppose. They might ask me what part of their site do I not understand.

Why on earth not? It is not expensive to phone the UK (unless you have some pricey calling plan -- in which case if you use a 10-10 number it will cost about .05¢ a minute.)
When are you trying to book for? If it is months in the future, many hotel websites won't take booking 6 months out. I'd phone them.
(And if you want add'l suggestions/advice, I'd re-post over on the Europe forum)

Sometimes hotels will sell "blocks" of rooms to sites such as Travelocity, Expedia, and the like. Send them an email if you're concerned about the cost of the phone call and ask the question exactly like you did in your post~so far, janis, suze and I all understood what you were asking! Either that, or book thru Travelocity......
