DoubleTree rooms are going, going…

Posted by on October 12, 2012 · 5 Comments 

Nov. 29, 2012: The hotel is officially sold out on all nights. The last day people can cancel their reservation and get their one night deposit back is Dec 27th, these rooms will be added back into the block but it may take a week or so. I would suggest checking the last couple weeks in December and early January.

Nov. 27, 2012: As most people know we are over 100% of our room block at Norwescon. There still a few rooms available for Friday and Saturday night. As of this morning I see on the Doubletree’s website there is at least 1 single King bed room available for all 3 nights. Book it before it is gone…

Oct. 30, 2012: If you want a room reservation for ALL 3 nights (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), do it right now. Unless I can get the block bumped there are only 3 rooms left for Thursday night. We still have about 40 for Friday and Saturday.

Oct. 29, 2012: Hotel rooms are almost gone, they are going very quickly. As of today the room block is at 98% full, with only about 50 rooms left. we are actually over our block on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. If you have any problems making reservations let me know and I’ll see if I can get the hotel to bump those nights again.

Oct. 19, 2012: Norwescon room block is now at 89.5% filled. If you have issues reserving your rooms, contact me at hotels@norwescon.org

Oct. 12, 2012: Norwescon room block is now at 86% full. Don’t wait to long to make your reservation as we have been going up about 5% per week. If you have issues reserving your rooms, contact me at hotels@norwescon.org.

Oct. 5, 2012: Norwescon room block is now at 81% full. Still rooms left, but don’t wait to long. If you have issues reserving your rooms, contact me at hotels@norwescon.org.

Sep. 18, 2012: The Norwescon hotel room block is approaching 70% full. Reserve your room for Norwescon 36 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport before it’s too late!

In other words, if you’d like to stay on-site during Norwescon 36 but haven’t reserved your room yet, it’s time! Find all the reservation info and rates on our hotel page.

    Howdy.

    I just clicked on the link, to the hotel reservation website. The short version….the website says that the hotel is already booked.

    When I call the 1-206-246-8600 reservation number, I get a guy that claims that he has a room in the ‘non-con block’ and that he will sell me the room at the con rate for 3 nights at $123 per night, but the first night will be over $250.

    Ummm…bait and switch?

    ANd he says that the Con-block is already full.

    Something is not adding up right when your posts says the hotel is 86% full, and that was posted on the 12.

    So, in less than 24 hours,….all the rooms got booked?

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

      Hi SirCatlord,

      I’ve forwarded your comment on to our hotels@norwescon.org address. Sometimes there are administrative tweaks that need to be made as we approach the 100% mark, which is why we ask people to email our hotel liaison if they run into issues. My guess is that we’ll be able to have you taken care of soon.

        Thanks for replying. After calling back 6 times ( Their line kept disconnecting) I finally got one person that said Yes, we still have rooms.

        I have no idea Why 4 other people say one thing and the first & 6th say another.

        Both 1st and 6th person still stuck to the story of the first night being at the regular rate , while the rest of the stay is at $123 per night.

        Anyways…..I reserved the room…figuring that the first night rate could be ‘fixed’ later on.

        The very least, the hotel liason might want to touch base with the reservation department on A) Is the NWC room block really full or not? and B) Check in Wed. march 27th room rate is the NWC rate or the regular rate.

        Thanks
