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.

I just finished booking my symposium room using the online chat

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
have
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. :-)

The hotel has had all kinds of problems with this. I initially
managed
to
get Wed-Sun nites at the rate, but not the 15th so I could go to the
start
of the board meeting. Martha has been in contact with them and I got
the
rate for the 15th. But that was last Weds.
I do suggest calling them directly at the hotel, not the central reservation line. Push to talk to the group person if the first
person
can't help. If that does not work, check with Martha (I hate to say
that
since she is probably flooded with these kinds of calls!) It's
possible
the block is sold out, but given the trouble, I'd be surprised. BTW,
do
not take the prepaid rate (which is about double the AMSAT rate, but
is
the
next cheapest thing) until all other avenues are covered. Getting out
of
that is REALLY difficult.
