That don't seem right....

In previous years it was a set price for the entire gathering stay, IIRC. Ted!? U see this??

I "attempted" to book my room yesterday and was on the phone well over an hour, mostly on hold only to find that reservations couldn't find any discounts associated with ZR2 group. I emailed Ted & got a response last night that he would be contacting the hotel events coordinator to get it straightened out.

I think the hotel needs to watch Cool Hand Luke a few more times so they understand the meaning of "what we're dealing with here is a failure to communicate".

Will try again today ... hopefully they will get it straightened out; otherwise, I'll either book with senior citizens discount (which is less than the $134) or find another property that's less expensive. Don't understand why it has to be so difficult ... and I'm saying that because I've had this same issue several times in the past. Just sayin'

Didn't know that you would qualify for the citizens discount Geo.

Not sure if I qualify for the citizens discount but I definitely quality for the senior discount

Interpret that however you wish but try not to read too much into anything I say

I got this also, then called the front desk directly. I'm supposed to get a new confirmation w the cost being reflected as $119 for each day. So they are aware of this.

I just called the front desk and got a room under ZR2 with no problem. Must be working now. Last year was messed up for me (price) but they fixed it for me when I checked in.

Gunny · 03-18-2016

Good news

called the front desk and asked to NOT be transferred to the call center; that I needed to book locally. Was put on hold for 15 sec MAX, then they took all the info, quoted the correct price, etc. etc. Whole process was quick & easy. Still not sure why the earlier snafu or why I kept being transferred to the national call center.

those of you who have reservations but suspect that the price is not right might want to call back, give your confirmation #, and make sure everything is OK. I think the folks at UPlaza know what they're doing.

FWIW, I'm booked from Wed until Sat AM - have to leave early afternoon on Sat because of a playing gig the next day. Anyone else leaving on Sat and needing a room, send me a PM.

I called them and they straightened out the over charge. Saved me $60 bucks.
