According to my contract with the hotel, they have 40 rooms set aside for us for Thursday night (in case anyone comes into town early), and 100 rooms on both Friday and Saturday night. The hotel is supposed to be monitoring these numbers internally and increasing/decreasing them according to how many people are making reservations under our group. I see that he has NOT set aside any rooms for Sunday, which is my oversight. Since he said we would get the $139 rate for the longer dates, I didn't figure it would be a problem to get a ROOM! And like you said...weird on a Sunday night especially. I will contact the hotel tomorrow to see what they can do for us. Hopefully it's not too late to pull some rooms aside for us for Sunday night. I think they normally have some rooms "set aside" - even when they tell people they are all booked. I'll let you know what I can work out.
Yes, she told them she was with the yorkie meetup. Let me know what you find out please. We're really hoping to stay an extra night so the trip isn't so rushed and we can just relax, hang out, and shop on Sunday

Personally, I don't see a problem with it, but since the hotel is going to already have SO MANY dogs coming for our event, they may not allow anyone else to bring a dog that weekend. So...before I booked my room through a random site, I'd want to make sure they'd allow my dog(s) in my room too since you wouldn't really be associated with our group at that point (of course, WE'LL claim you, but I mean for the purposes of the hotel).
Okay. I guess I would be better off calling the number and reserving my room. Better safe than sorry. :) Thanks!

Gayla (Layla's mom) called to reserve our hotel room tonight.

She also asked about staying Sunday night too but they told her that they had no available rooms on Sunday night. I've seen a lot of people say they are planning to stay sunday night as well but right now it looks like they are booked up.
We're hoping someone will cancel so we can stay sunday night too. I didn't know if you knew anything about them being booked up sunday or not. I can't imagine them being booked up on a Sunday night..that's really wierd
Oh no!:eek: I hope some rooms become available.

If we get to come, I will only be able to bring 2 of mine cause I can't pay a extra $50 for 1 more, that is just ridiculous! So how on earth am I suppose to decide who I have to leave home? :(

FYI ........ No rooms for Sunday night!!!
 
Just to let everyone know there are no rooms available for Sunday June 22, 2008. I called last night to book our rooms and we were going to stay Sunday night also but was told that they are all booked. I even called today to double check, was told the same thing.

When the people at their corporate office never called me back, I decided to put it on hold until we had everything else set-up so I had more to tell them when calling again, and that's when I took over hotel duties and haven't had any time since. I will try to give them a call after the holidays and see if we can get anything worked out.

Also, I know we were discussing a stroller at one point when I was trying to get some of the local museums and such to allow us in with our babies, and I was hoping I'd have better luck by telling them we'd ensure everyone had a bag or stroller. Well...since we're not going that route anymore, the strollers and bags will just be a personal choice...if you want them for shopping for instance.

I think it would be nice if one of our very own YT vendors sell doggie treats instead . . . :) I know we've got so many on here :thumbup:

As I told MyFairLacy I would (see post #69 above), I contacted the hotel today to find out why the rooms were all booked for Sunday when he told me you guys would be able to get the discounted rate for 3 days before and after the meet, and he said they have a convention beginning on Monday, so a lot (or maybe even all) of the people for that are arriving on Sunday. I told him we needed rooms available to our people, and he said he would put rooms aside for us. He asked me how many, and I told him I thought 15 would be ok since I haven't heard of that many people staying late yet, and since most everyone is sharing a room at this point. I haven't received a response back from him since that last e-mail, so I'm assuming he was able to put the rooms back for us. Check again soon, although you may want to give it a day or so for the computer to update since I don't know if it's instantaneous or not. If I hear back from him that he was NOT able to put the rooms on hold for us, I'll let you know. Otherwise, there should be 15 rooms being held in our name for Sunday night.

I agree completely Des, but we were trying to think of local vendors as well, in case we don't have enough/very many YT vendors sign up. I think everyone would agree the more YT vendors the better.

Thank you so much!! I will give them a call tomorrow, that way it will give the computer time to update the info. I knew there had to be something going on that next week to be already book up this far ahead.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and their furbabies!!!!!

Lori - I asked the hotel the EXACT same thing (about their website saying the $25 is refundable), as I too think the pet fee is steep given the amount of business we're bringing them, and the response was, "The pet fee policy is for one family traveling with their pet. This is a large group with multiple pets and adjustments/costs are in place for such events." Sorry...but I tried my best through a few different arguments to get this fee reduced, and they simply would not do it because they are going to be having so many rooms with pets in them, and it keeps coming back to the sanitation issue. I agree with you 100%, but given that no other hotel (and believe me, I called them ALL) would even allow us at all, we didn't have much choice. And my contact at this hotel is very nice and a dog-lover himself, so I am happy with them so far (other than the pet fee). He did deeply discount the price of the meeting room for us for Saturday (which is ultimately built into the registration fees), so he did save us some money along the way - believe it or not. I do hope you will still join us!
Lisa I Believe you . I just think The Hotel IS trying to help out. (Their Bank account ):(
I checked With The hotel and Guess what.. If I want to book a room right now for that weekend I can get the room for $117.00 with $25 refundable pet fee:confused: But mention YT and the price goes up:confused:
I know it is not your doing.. It does upset me.:(
I still plan on being there.. But I will find another hotel to stay at.
even if I have to Drive a bit thats ok Because I will be Driving down. It is only about 3 hrs to drive from here:)

I think when Gayla booked our room, the guy told her $25 of the $50 would be refundable. On our confirmation e-mail it said the same thing.
