Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
Not terribly impressed.
Our travel coordinator called precisely at 9:00am on the day reservations opened and was DENIED a block of rooms at the Embassy Suites. Rather than wasting time and getting shut out of anything near the venue we went with the Westin.
If...
A) You can't block larger quantites of rooms, we should have been told.
B) There were a small number of rooms available at particualr hotels, we should have been told.
C) There was a more efficient way to get the larger blocks of rooms, we should have been told.
This is the first time since Orlando that our team will participate in the post-competition party. In the past I have questioned the price tag (in Orlando it was free and definitely worth paying for had they asked!) and this year decided it was time to give it another go. I'm hoping it's worth the expense otherwise this will be the last year our team attends the party.
I'm sure the reservation system is good for smaller teams and new teams but when your traveling with 45+ people, it doesn't seem to offer many benefits.
Just my 2 cents.
