Here is perhaps a stupid question that someone can answer.
If we are required to have 800 room capacity in a hotel to make a bid in the
first place, why would we only reserve 62% of that?

Subject: Re: [APO-L] Room rates
It's my understanding that the fraternity had 500 rooms at the $75 rate
every night of the convention. There are less of these rooms available near
the end of the convention because more Brothers come down just for the end
of the convention, specifically the awards banquet. The was a second,
smaller block of rooms available at the slightly higher rate of $95. There
was a significantly smaller number than 500 of rooms available at the $75
rate for the three days before and after the convention which includes New
Year's Eve. I understand that the $169 rate is their regular room rate
which is being offered to the those who had one of the convention rate rooms
on New Year's Eve instead of their regular rate for that night which is $300
plus. Finally I also understand that once convention registration is
complete, the list of those registered for convention will be checked
against those with hotel rooms. If you are not registered for convention,
you will be charged the regular room rate instead of the convention rate
when you check out.
Keep in mind that though there always seem to be kinks with the hotel going
into a convention, in the end everything works out.
If hotel issues are really critical to you, discuss it with the voting
delegates from your chapter so they can consider those issues when the next
convention site is on the floor. If it really matters to you, it's not to
late to lobby your RD to recommend you to be appointed to the Time and Place
committee, the committee which reviews the bids for the next convention
site.
I am not connected with the convention committee in any way. I'm just
sharing what I know as there seem to be many questions on the issue.
Hope that helps.
In Brotherhood,
Chris

That was probably the Club Level rate. You get some extras at that level so
they cost a little more.
