Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT Room Rate at the Hilton

12 Aug 2019

      Just got off the phone with the Sales Manager.  She will call me back with
the number of rooms available Tuesday-Sunday.  If the block is full she
will try to add extra rooms.  As soon as I hear something, I'll let you
know.

The AMSAT rate is only good through Saturday night.  If you plan to stay
Sunday night, you'll have to book that night separately (at a much higher
rate).

The CS rep said the AMSAT block of rooms was filling up quickly.

The best way to register is to call the hotel directly.  If you still

problems, ask for Maria, the Sales Manager

Yes, please don't flood Martha with phone calls just yet.  She is well
aware of the problem and diligently working on it.
An update will be posted when we have news.  I look forward to meeting
everyone there...one way or the other. :-)
Cheers,

The hotel has had all kinds of problems with this.  I initially managed

I do suggest calling them directly at the hotel, not the central

Hello All,
I just tried to make a reservation at the Arlington Hilton for the
AMSAT Symposium, the Web site is saying that there aren't any rooms
available at the AMSAT rate. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Did you use the correct link / reservation code?

Group code is "RAS".
