I know this is still all blank as of right now, but it reminded me of a question I need to ask.

I already have my reservation, I reserved 2 King bed rooms at the Marriott for the whole 4 days to make sure my group would be secure. However, I used my mother's credit card to reserve them. I am, however, getting mine within the next few days. I know you can edit your reservations, but will I be able to change the credit card number without trouble?

Also, say if all the rooms suddenly got booked up and I went to change my reservation, that wouldn't somehow cancel or give away my reserved rooms, would it? (Paranoia, here.)

Not a problem, you will need to show the credit card to the desk upon checking in and at that time you can change the credit card from your parents to yours without a hassle.

Quote from: "AnimeEmperor"What about Thursday's?

The list will be updated on a weekly basis, normally on Saturday morning or as last a Monday afternoon...  Does that help?

Oh, so, just for clarification, I can just show her (my mother's) credit card, she doesn't have to be there? And then all the charges go to mine?

Show the person at the desk your credit card and tell them that you want all the charges for the room, placed on this card, not the one that was holding the room originally...  Okay...

Thank you so much for being so helpful, and prompt for that matter!

Math was never my strong suit, but this seems off to me..

Hilton Hotel:
Friday Night: 46% of the total room block is sold
What's left in the Hilton?
Out of a possible 266 rooms available for Friday, only 69 rooms remain.

etc.

Am I missing something? 69 left of 266 is not 46% free?

Good Catch, that's what I get for looking at the wrong spreadsheet...  You should see the corrections up now...

Aah, hehe. cool.

I've already got my room, but for anyone else considering the Hilton, it would have been good to know which set of numbers is correct :D Thanks for fixing it.

lawl...of the 3 suites that sold right away, 2 of them were mine and the other was Karen's.

I wonder why the Marriott isn't getting any reservations? I had a good stay there the last two years. *strokes chin*

Hilton's slightly cheaper and it's a more well known name. I personally like Marriott more than Hilton. Plus the suite, but not the point. :P

Hilton always sells out first... slightly bigger rooms, closer to the free internet lounge, closer to the arcade and Ballroom "J" and Starbucks...

Hilton isn't offering any suites, because we're taking them for guests and staff...

Marriott's suites are nicer, but in time you will find that the suites at the Fairmont are really, really nice...

Rofl. I said the same thing. Litterally the first thing I did after reading that was look up the Fairmont's locations, rooms and prices. Wow.

Man oh man...that's totally insane.

Still more than 80 days left, and Hilton's pretty much booked. Marriott will follow suit witin 2 weeks I"ll bet. The rooms will probably be full a month before the convention.

Does this indicate higher attendance? Or just more people staying in rooms?

Interesting nonetheless...

My guess is that that the Marriott will sell out between the third and fourth week of this month.

Remember that this is the last month to PreReg, so the end of the month we will see a spike in people registering and booking hotel rooms.  

We are ahead of last years numbers by an excess of 60%, which does translate into more people registering for the convention.

Once the Marriott books out, there are very small blocks at the other two hotels and I'm guess that by the second week of April, the third at the latest, we will have sold out all four hotels and will be looking at the Fairmont for rooms.

Heh, if we've got our confirmation emails and stuff, I'm assuming our rooms are definitely safe and guaranteed as requested?
