Note: As of June 1st, there are
no double rooms immediately available. However, there are still
Executive King Suites with sofa beds. The manager has assures us that he
will continue checking for available doubles and try to get as many of
our members in doubles as want them, but there's no guarantee.
In order to try and reserve a double, please phone the hotel between
9am and 5pm Central time and ask for Daniel Grajdura (the manager), or
email him directly.
Some members have reported having trouble reserving King rooms at the
con rate. There are plenty of King rooms available, so if you have
trouble, again, please contact the manager.
The codes for reserving rooms are:
If booking by phone: VIVB for a King room, VIVC for a Double room
If booking onine: VIVVIVB for King, VIVVIVC for Double
Please keep the number of roommates to four or fewer: the hotel has
fire code issues, and we need to meet room block requirements to keep
the cost of our meeting space down!
