When checking availability/booking your room on the reservation link, please remember to adjust the check-in/check-out dates to your desired arrival/departure.  If it is showing unavailable, it could be because the hotel does not have availability on the pre/post dates, but there is still availability over the main conference dates.  You may also call the hotel directly and ask for group reservations at 1-800-808-9833.

Also, please note the group rate for Standard Hotel Rooms/Run of House is $299.00 and will show on your confirmation and folio broken down as (ex: Net Rate of $244.00 + Resort Fee of $55.00 totaling the room rate of $299.00)  The same will be true for the upgraded rooms - it will back out the $55.00 resort fee from the room rate.
