The Granada already fucked up our reservations....three years running now.....
Hot damn! I never manage to eat much a ProgPower. I'll chip in for groceries for a chance to have a decent meal.Actually, I had a studio at the RI this year for $99 through their website. In 2005, our room was only $90!! Now they want to charge $159 for the same room and they aren't offering and web discounts. Bummer. I guess they've gotten wise to us.So I'm going back to the Granada, which isn't cheap either, but since we don't have to rent a car or take cabs, it's not that bad. And since we have a kitchen, my boyfriend and I will just stock up on groceries. I should have a few people over to our room because he cooks like a mofo.

Damn.... how did they do it ALREADY?
I got a suite in the Granada, and it was cheaper than the RI this year. They are doing nothing short of gouging this year, and it sucks.
Yeah I was checking rates at the RI and I asked how much for just a normal Kind suite and she was $179.00, I laughed at her and hung up.
I think October is a much better idea. Better chance of it being a little cooler, slightly less chance of a major hurricane keeping people away(September is the peak month).
I for one heartily celebrate this change and hope we have all future Progpowers in October.
Got our two-bedroom party suite booked at the Granada. The date of the festival WOULD be pretty inconvenient if I weren't graduating this winter, since this university usually begins at the end of Sept./beginning of Oct., so it would've been the first week of school.
Woohoo for graduating! It solves all my troubles!![]()
Booked my rooms at the Residence INN and Damn!!!!!!!!! Even with discounts and all for a 2 bedroom suite it was $209@night. Holy shit $209 for a bed and a toliet. Oh well, gotta have it, so i am there, except the airlines aren't booking yet for that week, but it will be no problem as i can tell.
Great Weekend choice Glenn it will be awesome.
I called back to the 800 number to 'fix' a small but insignificant part of the reservation. When I checked back on the reservation online, the room had been changed from 2 queens to 1 King-- and the rate was changed from AAA to "Best Rate" which added about $70 to the bill...so after calling back and being transferred 3 times and being on hold for 20 minutes while the national place called the Granada directly, they *supposedly* have everything fixed-- I guess we'll see when I check back in a week....
So did you book directly with them, their website, or a third party? I called the Granada directly, spoke to a guy named Anthony, and he took it over the phone. Got my email confirmation the next day. I have always stayed at the RI because of the "stories" of room issues with the Granada... but the price difference might just push me there (I do have a reservation at the RI too, but it was purely a "Backup").
The Marriott is $140.
