Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
I just reserved 26 rooms at the Mariott Marquis for Team 1114. We were hoping for the Embassy Suites, but at a savings $138 per room, we just couldn't pass up the Marquis. I did have trouble with the online system, so I ended up phoning in my reservation. Getting all the names in the system was a long process, but the representitive from Steele Meetings Inc. was very helpful. Kudos to FIRST and Steele for setting up this system.

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
Omni is not even on the list this year. We called and the reason is that the Omni is booke with another conference. We do not lk epaying for the party, so we will book outside of FIRST.

I am very disappointed that the Omni was not an option for the FIRST packages. Also, based on our group size, the Embassy Suites was also not an option either. |

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
I'm glad they're still doing the Hyatt Regency; we stayed there in 2004, and aside from a 15-20 minute walk to the Georgia Dome (which I think we can avoid this year with good MARTA planning) it was wonderful (the walk wasn't bad either, gave lots of talking time).
I was wondering why there were 2 hotels on that map that weren't on the price list. These are good prices for including tickets to the wrap party; I don't think there's a difference in price between getting reservations from the hotel itself (so no wrap party) or through Steele meetings (includes wrap party) in some cases. |

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
According to our teacher, we got into the Embassy Suites (best hotel in atlanta, imo). The Omni was a little disappointing last year, compared to all the hype. We'll be glad to be back in the huge rooms at the Suites with an awesome free breakfast every morning

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
All I can say is: painful!
We have a large team and, according to Steele, there is no room for us anywhere except at the Capitol. How is this possible? I have no idea. I have been on the phone with them for 2 hours and counting (I'm on hold now). So if it is like this for us this early, then how is it going to be for other teams later? I feel the freight train coming ... |

I believe that teams looking for 5-10 rooms should do okay with this process. However, large teams (MOE is looking to book 38 rooms) will find this to be a difficult process. Many of our choice hotels are not available and we need to make some quick decisions to get in anywhere. Looks like right now, MOE will be in the Hyatt. SUGGESTION - If you have a large team, please book soon or plan to split your team into smaller groups at different hotels. |

As for the choice hotels being booked, I have a suspicion that those teams who faxed in orders in advance, were given priority. When I got onto the system this morning at 9:00 am, I could not secure any rooms at the Embassy Suites. |

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
I am pretty sure that we do not use FIRST recommended hotels in Atlanta, we stay at the holiday mid-town north, they are pretty good to us. Good luck

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
I toook over 45 minutes to enter in our info for the 19 rooms 1038 plans to use. We'll be at the Wyndham. It was tedious, but problem-free. We were hoping to stay at the Omni, too

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
It is confirmed that MOE 365 will be staying at the Hyatt Regency. If any team has stayed here before and has some suggestions / comments, please e-mail me.
I hope your team's Championship Hotel reservation process went well. |

Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?
I have a feeling that teams who don't qaulify for ATL until the end of March at their regional are gonna have a hard time booking close, convenient rooms.
