Hi, I'm also needing Thursday night added. I had reserved my room about a week ago, and got Sunday-Wednesday nights at the conference rate, but couldn't get Thursday night at all. So based on suggestions on the C4L email about the hotel, I called them directly to get Thursday night added. They did add Thursday night onto my reservation, but only at the regular higher rate - they said the conference rate was not available for that night. I had seen a message that people were working on expanding the blocks, but hadn't heard any updates. If the hotel block is expanded, especially for Thursday night, can someone confirm? I still need to call the hotel back so they will change my Thursday night price to the conference rate.
