Re: [Killietalk] Convention Rooms

Has anyone hosting the conventions ever gotten a group number so you could just go to the hotels website and put in the group number and get the convention rate? Seems like an easy way to go.

  Hi Folks,

    I just got off the phone from the Convention Hotel after receiving a call 
  from someone attempting to register a handicapped room for the convention 
  and being told they could not have the convention rate.  According to my 
  contact at the hotel, someone in reservations goofed big time and she was 
  quite surprised.  She has already taken care of this problem and suggested 
  those with any special needs such as needing a handicapped room call direct 
  to the hotel at (315) 475-3000 to make their reservations prior to 5:00 pm 
  EST.   Apparently, the way the system works is after that shift, the 
  reservation system then uses the National Sheraton Reservations Desk and the 
  people there only make reservations based the room blocks.  However, she did 
  say there was no reason whatsoever a handicapped room should not have been 
  included as a normal reservation for the convention.
