Am I doing something wrong?

I go to

--->fanime.com
--->Location link
--->Reserve Today link
Then I get sent to --->'Housing Home'...
and thats it...nothing pops up where there should be the registration...

I've never booked a room myself before so I have a quick question for you all. I'm either booking at the Fairmont or Saint Claire and I'm wondering if either charge right when you book a room? I won't have money until next month but I really wanna get my room as soon as I can.

Alright, so I booked from the 27th through 31st just to be sure, until I get some kind of official verification from the mods...I figure it's better to have the days booked and change it later.

as far as i know they don't charge until after the convention. Since, they'll need to keep your info for things like room service and other hotel things.

They only need your credit card info to hold your room.

I quoted someone else who had this problem, since I had a problem too.
I was using google chrome for my browse and nothing came up for me either, so I opened the site with firefox and it was perfectly fine. I hope its something similar, because its a simple compatibly issue.

Just mentioning that the hotel key on the map is wrong. The numbers assigned to hotels don't match where they are actually located. But if you click the number on the map the hotel information is correct.

That's what it was like at the Marriott last year, I just wanted to be sure it was the same for all the hotels before I booked. Overdrafting $300+ from my bank would not be fun :x

Unfortunately, I had to resort to the evil that is IE to get my room booked. I was in shock that my lovely FireFox, which has hardly ever caused me a problem, actually got beaten out by something that *shudder* IE could do. I promptly fled back to FF when I was done lol

Wait, is this trying to tell me that all the Hilton 2-bedded rooms are taken (except for Friday and Saturday) in less than 3 hours? That makes no sense. You'd think Friday and Saturday would be the first to fill up, and it would take at least a couple days. Please someone tell me there's a glitch in the system. I have a friend that I promised him he could get a room even if he didn't get home til midnight. I assumed it was impossible to fill up that quickly.

I'm actually panicking right now.

I'm showing that Friday night is booked, but Saturday and Sunday are available for a Hilton double-bedded room. Have you tried registering, or are you just looking at the availability shown on the website?

Does it have to be the Hilton? The Marriott is also connected to the con center, and I'm showing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday open.

Hotels go fast, though. Maybe not usualy this fast, but pretty fast.

Thank you, various staff who worked on this, for all your hard work. :D Can't wait for Fanimecon now!

I'm already registered. I'm panicking for a friend. And yeah, it has to be Hilton for various reasons. Plus he wanted Thursday too, but I'm telling him it's not absolutely necessary.
