Booked about 20 minutes ago. 1 Double, 1 person for 9/1 and 9/2.
(I'm a 90-minute drive from VF, so it's too long to commute, and I can head home after the banquet and not get in too late)
Guy I talked to said the special room rate ended today (not the 6th). Don't know why the discrepancy, but not too concerned - I've got mine.

Today was the orginal release date set forth, way back when we contracted the hotel in Nov 2005.
Since the Hotel had server problems with handling the Reservations, they extended our release to Aug 6th 1159pm eastern time.
here's the email from the hotel

. understand the Aug 7th mentioned below means the rooms left over are released that day.
Also, understand I am dealing with a trade show/conference/special services Rep. not the Front desk. The front desk may not know of the change.
P.S. my first name is Gero

Hi Gero,
That is no problem at all. I have made the adjustment in the system and the new cut off date is 8/7. I apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered due to this.
Take care,
Janeen
