Re: Championship Hotel Reservations - How Did it Go For you?

SUGGESTION - If you have a large team, please book soon or plan to split your team into smaller groups at different hotels.
Yup, John has it right. Booking online for a large group is virtually impossible via the online system. I tried this morning and eventually got fed up with the whole process. Thankfully I ended up with a helpful rep from Steele on the phone. I spent 90 minutes on the phone with the rep, and eventually got the rooms booked.

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.
