Title: 150 man LAN hotel special rate
Post by: -Sp()()ge- on January 09, 2009, 08:55:38 AM
A special rate of $89 per night has been offered to those attending the LAN and planning to stay overnight at the Holiday Inn.  When calling to make your reservations, please mention the rate and that you are taking part in the FITES LAN.  If you have previously booked at a higher rate, you can call the hotel and rebook at the lower $89 rate.  Any questions about this information, ask away.

LIES!  I called and asked them for a special room rate for the FITES LAN event and they told me $99.56.

As I already reserved my room (with the advance pay to get the $99.56 rate), I doubt they will correct their mistake, but I'll give it a shot.

Is that the rate or is that the total with all the taxes and stuff?

Alright then... I called the hotel back up and explained what was going on, and they supposedly fixed it.

$99.56 + tax, per night.

But I just called the hotel back up and explained what was going on, and they supposedly fixed it to $89 + tax per night.

Don't you live 5 or 10 minutes from the hotel?

So you would trust that your computer is safe while you are sleeping if you are 2 minutes walking distance from it instead of 10 minutes driving distance.  I don't see the difference.

Can you confirm rooms are still available?  I'm hearing from a few KoS members that the hotel is telling them there are no more rooms available.

I just booked a room for Friday and Saturday night. However, I could not book the same room for both nights. I'm debating whether to pay the extra $20/night so I don't have to switch rooms.

Odd, did they explain why you couldn't use the same room?

None available for both nights at the discounted rate. He sounded puzzled.

Certainly sounds puzzling to me as well.

Yeah, it shouldn't matter which room you're in as long as it's not a jacuzzi room or something.

Desolator PM me and give me your name.  I can talk to the hotel organizer and hopefully get it figured out.  Thanks

I just ordered out of block, seems they have 2 King and 1 Double (smoking) left for Friday night, and Saturday they only have a handful of double bed rooms left.  You may have to move between rooms due to the booking schedules.

If you call the hotel directly, ask for Kirby in the sales office.  She will hook you up.

Well, I just called the hotel again to see maybe if there was cancellation or something so I can stay in the same room for both nights. They changed my reservation so I have the same room for both nights at the discounted rate.

I assume we are allowed to catch 40 winks at our computers?  I don't need no stinkin' room.  Though I'm a little afraid I may wake up and find someone gagged me because I have been told I snore (I think it's lies).

Now what was the question of sleeping by your PC?

Anyone know if we get continental breakfast?
Title: Re: 150 man LAN hotel special rate
Post by: BB_Bricky on February 26, 2009, 06:36:11 PM
HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THIS THREAD WHEN I WAS BOOKING MY RESERVATION???

I called them up and they switched me to the discounted rate, no problem, FTW!!!

Desolator, I had breakfast with the non-discounted rate, and they took that part out to give me the discounted rate. So we can all get continental breakfast at McDonald's.
