This is likely to hurt some teams that made reservations early, but are caught napping on this requirement. It will, however, benefit those of you who are looking hard for rooms right now. Also, I know that our team will be giving up at least a few rooms at the Doubletree Hotel at Union Station. There are bound to be other teams that are releasing rooms intentionally.

Having said all of that, the old system with Steele was awful. They contracted with a hotel last year that double-booked our rooms, then announced that they wouldn't honor the reservations for our team and two others the day before we were scheduled to arrive. The new system with Experient is just as bad, but in a different way. Hopefully, the hotels at least won't double-book our rooms...

Thank you for that insight...We will definitively be looking out...
