150 man LAN hotel special rate
« 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.

Holiday Inn

5401 CARLISLE PIKE
MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050

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?
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

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.
