So I guess my question is: Are they releasing blocks of rooms in the certain hotels at a time? Fill one hotels block before opening the next one up? I guess I just don't like this new reservation service especially if they aren't booking the rooms in the hotels system until July 9th. That would explain why the guy with Marriott was still showing rooms available in the Otakon block, since they haven't submitted them yet.
I was just really confused.
I don't think it's certain blocks being released at different times, i think it's just that all the ones they had at the time were all released at the beginning and they're all already sold out, as room reservations have been available since August 2008 (that's likely why you couldn't get your hotel of choice... I booked 2 days after Otakon 2008, and the new attached Hilton Convention Center was already long gone, I was lucky to get the Holiday Inn Inner Harbor)... this late in the game, you're lucky to get anything, really...
How does this PassKey thing for hotel reservation work?
in Otakon 2009
