I am in for the Techwood for Friday and Saturday. It was very easy to switch my existing reservation over to the group rate. Thanks again Metalrose!

Hmmm... strange that they told me there were no King rooms left when I called the other day. I will have to give a call back this weekend and see whose end (their's or mine) the misunderstanding was on. Thanks again, Metal. I can't say that enough.

Metal - I already PMed you about this, but they are out of Wednesday night rooms. I was on vacation (without Internet access!) and changed my reservations when I got home. Thursday through Saturday were changed to the new rate (and I did *NOT* have to cancel and make new reservations) but Wednesday is still at the old rate.
I could have changed to a King with a sofa bed instead of the two Queen beds that I made my reservation for originally. So I'm stuck at $170/night for Wednesday and now $135/night for the remaining nights.
Again - THANK YOU for all the work you have done!!!

They are totally out of rooms on Wed night or just Queen size?
I'll get in contact with them on Monday or Tuesday to see if I can add some extra rooms. I don't want to go overboard, so currently I have 3 people that are unable to get the discounted rate for Wed night. (Dolamite S. Biffle, BlackRoseMetalHeart, and Diamond45) Is there anyone else that was not able to get the discounted rate for Wed night?
Thanks for the PM Diamond45!
When I call to check, I'll also verify # of rooms left.

They were out of rooms at the queen bed rate. I could have had 1 king bed with a sofa bed for the first night, and then switch to two queen beds. It wasn't worth switching rooms. So if you could possibly pull some strings and have some more queen rooms available for Wednesday night, that would be great.

I'm pretty certain I got the same rate of $135 for all nights (Wednesday - Saturday), but I was told that I could get a room with 2 Queens or a single.
The original room that I booked, was a King, which they told me they did not have any available at the group rate. (I don't recall them saying that they already had the request for those rooms filled for the group rate.) They put a special request in for me to get a King room, but who knows what will happen with that.
So I hope this explanation makes things clear ... clear as mud, right?

Interesting. I called the reservation number to get the number of rooms left, but I'll contact the person I was working with directly to get the full story.
I thought it was either a double or a single, so I don't really know where the booking came up with the king rooms vs queen rooms? Perhaps the "king" is the single?
Eh, I'll get it straightened out on either Monday or Tuesday.

MetalRose, yes, the 'Kings' are probably the singles. At decent hotels, a one-bed room will usually have a king-sized bed.

What the hell does this have to do with anything Paul?

I've sent an email to the person I've been working with. I'm kind of suprised I haven't heard back from her yet, but I'm assuming she is out of the office.

It harkened back to the discussion of hotels' use of 'king, queen, twin' bed-sizes. A 'double' is usually two queen-size beds, although in some 5-star hotels you get two kings (that's a lotta mattress; requires a spacious room).
A 'single' room should be one king-sized bed, but motels and cheaper hotels skate by with one queen-size bed.
I encountered the mis-named 'twin' -- basically a one-person bed, so I guess it would work for conjoined twins
-- in two European hotels (one in UK, one in Holland), but they're seldom used in American inns. I just thought it was odd that my own bed seems to be neither fish nor fowl: two narrow to be a queen, too lengthy for twin bedding. I just improvise.

Sounds like dorm beds. They have a weird size too. Quick google search came up with this:
Quick Facts
* Dorm Twin Mattress Length: 75″ (Most Common Length)
* Dorm Twin XL Mattress Length: 80″ (Most Common Length)
* Dorm Twin XXL Mattress Length: 84″ (Most Common Length)

Whew, a whopping 6' 3". I know a lot of guys -- and some gals -- who'd be a tight squeeze there. Or partly doubling over.

Any update on this?
Thanks!
The hotel manager is out of town this week and I haven't heard from the person I set the intial contact up with. I called on Monday and Tuesday and to be honest, spaced it the rest of the week as I've been swamped at work. I'll get on it again tomorrow.

Here's a map..
The star is close to where the Courtyard by Marriott is. (The hotel is a bit to the west/left and a bit to the south.)
The venue is right by 17th St and West Peachtree St. It's a few blocks up and to the east/right.
Alright, 5 queen rooms have been added to Wednesday night. If people are still having trouble getting rooms, please contact me as the person I'm working with said they would make sure we have all the rooms we need.
