St.Louis hotel reservation system - how is it this year?

[James3245]

What has been experience of teams this year who have tried the FIRST-sanctioned hotel reservation system?

I'm aware there have been some frustrations in past, especially with working through the website.

There were a bunch of glitches that were not completely ironed out by the time they opened sign-ups, but those seem to be mostly fixed.

The current issue is that there are NO hotels available near the dome. I did not sign my team up for rooms until 2 days into registration and even going and selecting hotels all the way out at the Airport I was still relegated to my 3rd choice hotel.
