Upcoming Hotel Cutoff Dates https://www.norwescon.org/2012/12/11/upcoming-hotel-cutoff-dates/ https://www.norwescon.org/2012/12/11/upcoming-hotel-cutoff-dates/#comments Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:58:24 +0000 Norwescon Hotel Liaison https://www.norwescon.org/?p=2023 One reminder and one new notification regarding room reservations at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport:

While we’re thrilled to have filled our room block at the hotel, we do understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your reservation at the hotel, or if you would like to make a modification to your arrival or departure dates:

  • December 27th is the last day you can cancel your reservation and get your deposit back. All deposits are nonrefundable if cancelled after December 27th.

    Of course, if you were unable to reserve a room at our host hotel before we sold out, it may be worth checking around or after the 28th to see if any rooms have opened up!

  • February 24th, 2013 is the last day you can make a modification to your existing reservation (changing your arrival or departure dates) without incurring a penalty. After the 24th, all modifications will require canceling your existing reservation and booking a new reservation.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our hotel liaison at hotels@norwescon.org.

DoubleTree rooms are going, going… https://www.norwescon.org/2012/10/12/doubletree-rooms-are-going-going/ https://www.norwescon.org/2012/10/12/doubletree-rooms-are-going-going/#comments Fri, 12 Oct 2012 22:37:20 +0000 Norwescon Hotel Liaison https://www.norwescon.org/?p=1916 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.
