I wonder how many rooms they were holding for us? Frankly, I'm not sure how good the block of rooms was in the first place. When I called, they didn't have any $90 rooms (as per the conference page) -- only $100 rooms with a king-sized bed. This was true when I booked last week, and true when I looked at booking (and seeing if I could get free nights) two weeks ago. This may be something where the HI didn't do its job properly, but ... I don't know what sort of situation that places anything in. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * Alternate: austin@halostatue.ca
