Cool, the showcase is on my birthday. Beats a pair of socks (although to be fair, they were comfy socks).
Not sure if they have any left, but have you tried:

Hey guys/gals,
I have a call in to Residence Inn to see ifwe can get some rate decrease consideration since we can pretty much guarantee them full occupancy if they are closer to the rates they had last year. If I am not mistaken a few people got moved elsewhere because they were completely booked last year correct? At this rate (with their new price) they won't have squat this year from us.
I'll let you know if it works out. What price point do you all feel comfortable paying, realising that it will be a bit more than last year? I know I had paid $129 night for the "studio" I think they call it. Would $139-145 be a good target for you all?
Feedback please, thanks!
Deron,
That's not a bad price, of course anything lower would be welcomed. If you can set it up please let me know..
Folks,
If all of the doubles are aleady gone at the Marriot per Dolamite, then you can safely assume that Deron's phone calls are going to fall on deaf ears.
Me: "Hi, how much for one reservation for October 3rd through the 7th, 2007"
Receptionist: "Oh, for Prog, huh?"
Even with the later weekend, they still know it's us! Maybe they're following the forum, too!
As of 5 minutes ago, the only rooms Granada have for Oct 3-7, 2007 are 1 bedroom apts (w/pull out couch) for $179/night.
Apparently all the 2 bedroom apts, and 2 bed junior suites are gone.
Well this sucks it doesnt appear as if there are any suites left anywhere within walking distance.
Edit: To update this post I just got off the phone with a Marriott rep and there are no Marriott associated hotels with 2 beds left within a 2 mile distance suite or regular.
When I called the Granada at 7:00pm CST (8:00am Atlanta time) I was told
they had rooms but only single beds left. Made a $179 a night Res at RI for a single w/ sleeper sofa
Going to shop around the area, and maybe we'll just have to go further, & rent a car this year.....Yep, we're definately getting the gouge this year!
Somebody pass the K-Y!
Irritated, but still going (of course)
