My experience in calling was that the booking person said (just minutes ago) that there are rooms available but that rooms set aside for the conference rate have all been sold out. If I want to pay $219 a night, they'll reserve a room for me. Otherwise, nope. They wouldn't negotiate the rate with me. I was going to be sharing the room with someone, so two of us are currently out of luck. If I need to book with another hotel, I need to know pretty soon. Jean: can you check on this?
