[> [> Subject: Think about it . . . hundreds are clicking in at noon; and most are clicking on link to Marriott even though other options were provided. Statistically speaking, many are not going to get a room at Marriott. It's just shear luck if you click at the right fraction of a second.

Normally it doesn’t hold a room for you while you punch in your card information. This year i noticed that it did, and i was able to get a room. my daughter and i both tried at the same time, i refreshed it at 12:00:12 and it gave me options for the rooms. So I think all of the holdings while card info was being filled out, is what caused it to say sold out right at 12

[> Subject: The fact is there's a HUGE quality difference in these hotels. Marriott is just plain better (more inside)
Author: No go on Marriottt again [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:21:14 09/16/22 Fri It's no surpirse everyone wants the Marriott and it's no surprise so many are disppointed. The other hotels arent' as good. I would love to know just how many rooms the Marriott adds to the block, I always see business travelers there too during the O. Frustrating, I always got into the main hotel in Providence. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Keep in mind that we are not the only group using the convention center during the weekend, so we are not the only group in the hotel. By the way, I was able to get a room outside the block using points.

[> [> Subject: Additionally, the block rate is so much cheaper than the standard rate that those business travelers are paying. No way they're going to give us the whole hotel
