• On the ECRO blog is mentioned to contact newfangle@yahoo.ca if you have problems booking (NT) -- Good luck!, 08:36:11 08/01/11 Mon

• There was a message last week about that and it was removed a few days later. I wrote an email but got no response... Booked late August in 2010 without problem. (NT) -- Don't understand the shortage of rooms., 09:27:26 08/01/11 Mon
  • Although Westin is nice, I highly reccomend Les Suites so close and far enough away (NT) -- lol, love the balconies too, 09:45:49 08/01/11 Mon
    • I have a king booked at a MUCH higher rate but I want to be onsite - sent email to Ryan & the message on the blog says to give him 2-5 days to reply - more -- OP, 11:15:52 08/01/11 Mon
    • I second Les Suites - spacious rooms with a full kitchen. I booked a one bedroom suite CAA rate for $115. It's just a very short walk on the other side of the Rideau Centre which is attached to the Westin so it's an easy, easy walk. (NT) -- me, 09:31:47 08/22/11 Mon

• You've alredy paid off Nationals?!! (NT) -- what's your secret?, 20:18:45 08/01/11 Mon
  • LOL only used the CC for the room & only had one extra night from the original two we had to pay for & I think I even put cash down at the end - so I have NO idea what the person below is complaining about my "debt" for - hoping to share a room for the first time in years at the O's this year (NT) -- OP, 07:47:58 08/02/11 Tue

• I cannot believe you are going into debt to take your daughter to a competition. We do not go to an event until it is paid for. If you can't afford them all, pick the most important. It is not worth it. (NT) -- Do you want to paying for these things ten years after?, 21:11:36 08/01/11 Mon
  • Egads. Lighten up. I love how every one thinks they know so much about how to run other people's finances. And how do you know they are taking their daughter to a competition? Lots of people actually have sons who dance. (NT) -- please lose the superior attitude., 21:25:35 08/01/11 Mon
    • Thank you! I do have both a ds & dd & my finances are NO One's business & we do have to put one night down on a hotel room (NT) -- OP = ecr mom to a ds & dd, 07:49:51 08/02/11 Tue

        • Boys wear different soft shoes. The one's my son wears are capezio's. They have a heel on them. I have -- 3dancersmom, 04:47:55 08/17/11 Wed
        • Linda - there is a group on facebook - Moms to Reel Boys - very helpful in all areas - link inside -- ecr mom to a ds & dd, 10:02:50 08/17/11 Wed

• Talked to the hotel - the Novatel is now the overflow hotel (NT) -- OP & that sucks...., 09:42:36 08/02/11 Tue

  ---

• Were you able to get the same price ( 139 ) for double beds at Novotel? I am in the same boat. Wrote an email a wek ago but no answer. We are 3 with a king bed! (NT) -- Not happy, 13:37:43 08/02/11 Tue
  • They have cots? She didn't have the Novatel rate - hoping that we get some info soon - keeping my overpriced king for now.... (NT) -- OP - hopeful, 14:38:20 08/02/11 Tue
    • Yes they have cots but I was told it was not a sure thing that I would get one... So we may be 3 in a king! (NT) -- Not happy, 03:27:04 08/03/11 Wed

  ---

• I heard that there were not actual double rooms available, not that they just weren't putting them in the block (NT) -- had to book at the overflow, 22:26:17 08/02/11 Tue

  ---

• There are many hotels in the vicinity; I would explore other options. (NT) -- The Westin is nice, but it's not the only choice by far, 06:17:58 08/03/11 Wed

• Does anyone know if there is a user fee if you stay at another hotel not booked through the group! (NT) -- WONDERING, 07:07:37 08/03/11 Wed
  • No fees. Stayed somewhere else in the past. (NT) -- me, 08:23:58 08/03/11 Wed
    • No fees but if entire schools are not supporting the host hotels, then fees will apply to those schools. (NT) -- -, 19:31:09 08/22/11 Mon
      • They can't justify fees if host hotel is booked & now on to overflow hotel (NT) -- Requirements for ballrooms met!, 13:39:39 08/26/11 Fri

• Air Mattress? -- mod, 12:35:10 08/03/11 Wed

• It's all so strange - that at our local "O" we can't get enough rate rooms to accomodate us all...whereas at Nans we were "forced" to books rooms at the host hotel. What does that tell us all about the real cost of getting the ballrooms for such events? (NT) -- Surprised, 21:49:49 08/27/11 Sat
  • Because the hotels used for our O have 2 ballrooms and max 800 dancers and the hotels for nationals have 5+ ballrooms and thousands of dancers (NT) -- ecr, 06:17:00 08/29/11 Mon
    • True, but you'd think a hotel would want as many people attending an event to stay in their hotel, eat in their restaurants etc. But as we know, not all "seats" on a plane cost the same amount. (NT) -- ., 08:13:02 08/29/11 Mon
      • What are you talking about? The hotel is not restricting rooms, it is sold out of doubles and families don't want kings.. (NT) -- -, 18:28:12 08/29/11 Mon
