| You are exactly right Suzy! The hotel is monitoring the number of rooms our group has booked internally, and they will increase or decrease the rooms "assigned" to our group as people make (or don't make) their reservations. When I signed the contract with the hotel, the agreement was that they would hold 40 rooms for us Thursday night (20 King & 20 Queen Doubles), 100 rooms for us Friday night (50 King & 50 Queen Doubles), and 100 rooms for us Saturday night (50 King & 50 Queen Doubles). Then, they later agreed to hold 10 rooms (5 King & 5 Queen Doubles) for us for Sunday night. I'm sure we haven't gone through that many rooms so far, so they must've decreased our allotted rooms when they saw people weren't booking them as quickly as we'd anticipated. If we "run out" of rooms, the hotel should automatically increase our allotted number to accommodate those who haven't made their reservations yet, as long as the hotel still has rooms available at that point! This is why it's imperative that people make their hotel reservations, regardless of whether or not you are ready to pay your registration fee. Remember that you are able to cancel your room with no penalty up to 24-hours prior to check-in, so you do not risk losing ANY money by making your reservations this far in advance, and you guarantee yourself a room that way in case you end up joining us at the meet-up :thumbup: . If anyone calls to book their room and is told there are NO rooms available, please let me know ASAP so I can call the hotel and find out what's going on. |
