Wave 3 Hotels

[GeorgiaPeach]

I've been without internet most of the day. Just got home from my show ($886...with more orders coming! Woo Hoo!) and registered. There are NO rooms for the night of the 15th! I went ahead and took a room (without the 15th) but REALLY need the 15th.

Did anyone reserve extra rooms "just in case"? I need one if you know of someone that has an extra room. I want to stay at the Chicago Hilton with the rest of my cluster.

This happens EVERY year! IMO....they shouldn't run out of rooms the FIRST day!! Errrrrrr.............:mad:

[pcchris]

If there happens to be any room left in my hotel room (i'm at the Hilton), you're more than welcome to stay with us....I don't know how many from our cluster are going...I'll keep you posted! I wouldn't mind! We are getting there on the 15th.

[pcchris]

AND...yes, you're right! They shouldn't run out of rooms on the first day!

[Chozengirl]

I just got a call from another gal in my hospitality group.
Another director booked at the Hyatt, not even on the list.
It is a 2 bed 2 bath for $600 all 3 nights.
You might want to look into another hotel.

[lacychef]

I know what you mean....our group is actually planning on going Saturday, & found out there's no rooms for Sunday. We're looking into another hotel.

[erinyourpclady]

We are staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place......no shuttle buses for me! LOL!! Maybe this year I will actually make it to a breakfast! LOL!!!

[lacychef]

OK girls, for those that can't get a hotel for the 15th already....my director said we need to call HO! I've left a message & am waiting for a call back....

[GeorgiaPeach]

We are staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place......no shuttle buses for me! LOL!! Maybe this year I will actually make it to a breakfast! LOL!!!

Erin, If you haven't stayed at the Hyatt before for conference...you will LOVE it!! I stayed there one year and it was the most stress-free conference! No lines for the elevator....no lines for a shuttle bus....it was a hike back and forth across the pedway but after sitting all day, it was good for me :)

I tried to get in there last year and couldn't :(

[Kathytnt]

I am not sure where I am staying I just know that I am registered

[chefmelody]

I bet what happened is they didn't block out a big enough group of rooms for Sunday night. They didn't figure so many of us would be coming in on Sunday!

I guess I'll just go ahead and book one starting the 16th... and fly in really early that morning...

But if the directors have a meeting first thing Monday morning and many of their consultants are traveling with them....they should have been able to figure that out!! :rolleyes:

[jenniferknapp]

My director mentioned the Embassy Suites...just another thought!

[BethCooks4U]

I just got a call from another gal in my hospitality group.
Another director booked at the Hyatt, not even on the list.
It is a 2 bed 2 bath for $600 all 3 nights.

I checked out Hyatt and the only one I found for under $800 for 4 people for 3 nights is the Hyatt McCormick center but it did not say 2 bath and I saw nothing at $600. Which hotel are you talking about please??

[lacychef]

Right now we have reservations at the Travelodge; it's a block from the Hilton, & $179/night. We can cancel with no charge if we end up being able to get into a conference one.

We are SO excited about staying there! LOL!! Last year we never made it a single breakfast event becasue we couldn't get it together. I am ready for stress free!! LOL!!

[jentapp]

Has anyone stayed at the Sheraton? That's the only one that had availability for the 15th, so that's where I'm booked.

[pamperedlinda]

OK girls, for those that can't get a hotel for the 15th already....my director said we need to call HO! I've left a message & am waiting for a call back....
I called the Hilton this morning to find out what the deal was with this. I'm in Wave One and have the same issue. I've got a 2-2 room for Mon & Tues night but not for Sunday. Evidently when HO contracted with Travel Planners they didn't request enough Sunday night rooms. They have fewer rooms available on Sunday than they do for the rest of the week....evidently they didn't project that as many of us would want to come in a day early. I've called Travel Planners to complain (in my opinon, they really don't care about how we feel....) and I've called HO and talked to Beth in the Meeting Coordinator department and she confirmed that that was the case (fewer rooms on Sunday is what they projected), and she would pass on my complaint but she really didn't have a solution to offer. According to the lady I talked to at the Hilton there are still 2-2 rooms available however, if you want to book one of them it cost about 3 times as much as our conference rate! Since Travel Planners only has so many rooms blocked for us they can't give us the rooms that the Hilton still has available. I have a feeling that they will open up more rooms if WE ALL CALL TO COMPLIAN!!!! So CALL, this is not satisfactory.

[pamperedalf]

We stayed at the Sheraton last year, and I had no complaints. We had great service. My only complaint is I would totally love to have a double bathroom, but we work around it. We are staying there again because that is where are exec banquet is, and most of our clustermates stay!! I also love the fact that we can walk to Navy pier and the Magnificiant mile and don't have to get a cab.

[Tara1021]

Are there shuttles that run to and from the convention center or do we have to get cabs?

[lacychef]

Are there shuttles that run to and from the convention center or do we have to get cabs?

Yes, there are buses that run to the conference center from the conference hotels. VERY convenient:)

[lacychef]

I have a feeling that they will open up more rooms if WE ALL CALL TO COMPLIAN!!!! So CALL, this is not satisfactory.

I agree with this Linda.....everyone call & complain.
The directors have to be there at around 7am my director said.....there's no way we can fly in on Monday & make it on time! This is so ridiculous it's not even funny.....& I'm a little annoyed because I left a message with HO, & they never called me back yesterday.

Oh my goodness! :eek: That really stinks! :eek: EVERYONE in WAVE 1 needs to complain!!!!

[AJPratt]

What number do we call to complain? I haven't even tried to get a room yet. Its my husband and I.

Are there hotels close to a conf hotel where we can walk to it and hop on the shuttle?

[pamperedalf]

Anne I know Embassy suites is close to the Sheraton & many people stay there and walk to the Sheraton shuttle.

[AJPratt]

Thanks. Should I contact these places directly or go thru that agent?

[pamperedalf]

I would contact them directly or go through a travel agent. I heard someone say they booked through Hotwire and got a sweet deal. Only draw back is you have to pay up front.

[AJPratt]

Thanks. OMG Emabassy is $250 a night.

[AJPratt]

So what are we supposed to do if there aren't any rooms on the 15th?

[AJPratt]

I just tried to leave a message and got a recording saying to call bak during hours.

[pamperedalf]

Anne I just checked too. Even the Sheraton is at $239 on the other sites. I would send HO an email today. You are awesome at words. Then I would start hounding them on Monday Morn. They opened up more rooms last year after people started to complain.

[pamperedlinda]

They didnt call me back either, I had to call them back.....not good service in my opinion.

In response to my email expressing my concern, my Exec Director forwarded an email she got from HO Reservations that they are working to resolve this problem and we should hear in a few days. Rooms are available at the hotel but a 2/2 at the Hilton is $324 (almost double our price!). I do not suggest booking "in case" because then there will be less rooms that they can give to PC!! What I really hate is that they will not "guarantee" that we will get the same price for Sunday. EXCUSE ME?? If I was in Session 2 or 3 I wouldn't have to pay extra for the night before. I have had trouble with bookings with Travel Planners the last 2 times I used them - if the price wasn't so good....

[AJPratt]

I did send an email and will hold off until I hear something.

And, no one should be charged more for any date if they are going for conference. Last year, I roomed with someone else (3 others) and they took care of everything. This year, I'm taking Dave, so I am pretty much handling everything.

IMHO, HO should reserve at least couple of days before and a couple of days after. Some have very long flight and that should be taken into consideration. Maybe it wasn't an issue when PC was smaller, but now we have people traveling for quite some time to be able to join us.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Anne I just checked too. Even the Sheraton is at $239 on the other sites. I would send HO an email today. You are awesome at words. Then I would start hounding them on Monday Morn. They opened up more rooms last year after people started to complain.

Hey, if Anne is so good at words :) she should compose the letter and then we can all copy it :D and send it too! I'm pretty good at composing letters but it takes me forever cause I keep making revisions!

I hope that HO gets more rooms on the 15th opened up but come on, this happens every year! They do SO many things really well at conference....bugs me that they keep getting this part "wrong"!

[AJPratt]

Sorry to disappoint, but this is all I sent; feel free to use it:

RE: WAVE 3 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

I am trying to register for conference, but I want to make sure I will have lodging. I tried to reserve a room for the day I fly in (July 15th) and according to the travel service, there is no availability for the 15th at any of the participating hotels. What should I do?

[BethCooks4U]

As you know Wave 1 has the same problem with our Sunday. HO and registrations told me to register for the days I can get and then call to be put on a list. We would hear in about a week but it's not guaranteed that we will get that date at the same rate.:eek: If that happens they need to hear big time from everyone that has to pay extra - SOO wrong! I personally think they need to find a new travel company to work with.

This is the THIRD time I have had stress due to their incompetency - one of the times I had written verification that I had a suite at Embassy Suites for 2 double beds and pull out for 5 consultants. When we got there we had a king and the hotel said they didn't even have doubles available at all. Travel Service's response? "Too bad. We can't do anything for you. Take two rooms and then request a refund after the fact but we can't guarantee you will get any money back". We ended up with no hotel and stayed at a consultant's home an hour away (thank goodness she lived near). Not acceptable. I never feel comfortable with their reservations until I am in my hotel room. We should not have to go through that kind of stress!!

[AJPratt]

Beth you couldn't be more right! I am going to talk to my director and see what she says. We'll both be traveling with our husbands, together.

[pamperedlinda]

I called and complained to Home Office and to Travel Planners - guess it worked (either that or they are getting their you know what together!). I got my 2-2 confirmation today for all 3 nights. If you have not called and expressed your displeasure I would do it.....it worked for me, hopefully it will work for you too.

[mrssyvo]

I reserved Sun-Mon-Tues at The Palmer House, through Travel Planners the morning that reservations opened, and I got all 3 nights for $162 a night. When my director tried to make her reservations at Palmer House, they told her that Palmer House was not a listed hotel, and they could not make reservation for her.

[BethCooks4U]

Sounds like Travel Planners. No Palmer House is not one of the hotels this time. But who knows they may add it.

I was on hold forever with them today and still don't have a room for Sunday. I have lodged a complaint with them and with PC about this mess. Like it does any good.

[AJPratt]

Travel Planners said I could get on alist and request the Sun night and find out in 10 days if I get it... then if I don't call the hotel direct to see if they have room. I called the Hilton and they have nothing. Called the Sheraton and Sun night would be $265 Sun night. This sucks. It hasn't even been a friggan week and its a mess.

[AJPratt]

Bumping this... curious to see how everyone is making out?

[BethCooks4U]

Bumping this... curious to see how everyone is making out?
I just got off the phone with a manager at Travel Planners. He said what we all have heard: The hotel releases so many rooms at the rate and it is based on past conference usage. First he was saying that TPlanners is responsible to pay for the rooms not used so they don't want to have TOO many, and then he said the hotel didn't release that many rooms...

I still don't have a room for the 8th (our Sunday) and he said they are still working on it but still won't guarantee the price. (The hotel says the price is $324 for that room on that night.) My director put her reservation in before I did and she got email notification this morning that she has the Sunday so there is some hope I guess.

He did say he was sending me a $50 voucher to use this year or in the future for my troubles (I had major problems with the Atlanta Reservations for Leadership last year too). Want to bet that my room will become available at $50 more than the $179??

[AJPratt]

I made the reservation for the nights avail and then called them this morning to put in a request for Sun night. So, we'll see...

Did your Dir get it at the conf rate? I know the Sheraton has vacancy. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I chatted with one lady at the Sheraton and she said that there were a bunch of conferences going on at the same time and that most of the hotels will be booked fast.

Yes my director got the conf rate. The supervisor I talked with asked if I wanted to book that night in a different type room or another hotel. NO.

[AJPratt]

They didn't ask me those questions. They just put in the request. Hmmm... I wonder what we'll wind up with.

[AJPratt]

Anything new with anyone? Sorry! I'm neurotic!

[Katrob]

I booked my flight before we could register for conference and so I too am waiting for a room on the 15th. It is stressful to wonder if you will have a place to stay! I booked at the Hilton for the nights that were open. Now it's just a waiting game to see if they get us a room!

[AJPratt]

It is stressful to wonder if you will have a place to stay!
YES! It certainly is! Worse comes to worse, I guess we'll find a hotel for the one night and then just go to the Sheraton. I really don't like that idea, and hope it works out, but I figure we'll make it work somehow.

[BethCooks4U]

I still don't have a room for our first night in Chicago yet either. Worse case, we'll all camp out in other rooms for the first night. I am blown away that they could run out of rooms that fast. Unacceptable.

Got an email from a supervisor at TP tonight - "still working on getting you a room". Right.

[AJPratt]

I haven't gotten any kind of email from them about that.

Oh, and I got an email back from HO...
Hi Anne,
You need to call Travel Planners and get on a wail list. The number is 800-221-3531. They are adding more rooms daily....

That's it. No signature, identifier or anything. I am trying to be positive as well as polite, but I just don't find that comforting.

My response:
Yes, I did get on the waiting list, but wasn't sure if the Home Office knew this was such a problem. And Travel Planners isn't guaranteeing anything, so I might not have anywhere to stay since Chicago is very busy because of other conferences going on at the same time.

[AJPratt]

So, say we can't get in a conf hotel... where should we stay on Sunday?

[BethCooks4U]

So, say we can't get in a conf hotel... where should we stay on Sunday?
Is there a Travel Planners office in Chicago? I think we should camp out there!

[AJPratt]

Seriously. And after the response I got from HO, I'm thinking the HO looks pretty good right about now, too.

[BethCooks4U]

You've got that right!

[AJPratt]

Just bumping to keep this showing up. Curious how everyone is making out.

All I'm hearing is silence.

[AJPratt]

LOL I think this thread turned into the "Beth & Anne" thread.

[pamperedalf]

I have a hotel room for all 4 nights, but it makes me mad that some people only have a room for 3 nights and might have to pay a higher rate for the night before. I don't think HO is being very accomodating.

I just wanted to add to your Beth & Anne thread!!

[AJPratt]

I don't think HO is being very accomodating.


I don't mean to be negative, but response I got from HO was perhaps the least helpful ever.

(feel free to join the B&A thread!)

[pamperedalf]

I just was thinking if I was at work on the day registration opened, I probably wouldn't have had a room for sunday. But registration fell on spring break, so I was at home ready to go @<hidden email> 8AM.

It stinks, and I think you guys need to put more flame under their you know whats, to get a room.

[pamperedalf]

Anne, I went onto hotels.com & sidestep.com and found a few 4 star hotels that were on or near the mag mile from 141-189 a night. Check it out in case you need to stay somewhere the one night.

[BethCooks4U]

End of work day just about (and work week) and still silence.

Thanks for the suggestion about an alternate hotel for the first night but I do not want to make my whole team move after the first night and am not willing to give up the 2 bathrooms either.

If we have to do that it should be on TP or HO (don't even start to think they would do that!) - we registered so soon that there is NO EXCUSE for this!













(BTW: Everyone is free to chime in on the B & A thread. - I'm not supposed to be here anyway - it says WAVE 3 (I'm in Wave 1 but I have the same problem!).

[AJPratt]

Thanks, Amanda! I looked on sidestep but not hotels.com. I figured I'll call TP on Monday and see what they say. If I don't get in, I'll just book something off of one of those sites the first night. We pack light anyway.

[jentapp]

I have a reservation for the 15th at the Sheraton and am thinking about cancelling it. The person who was going to go with me has some serious health problems and won't be able to attend (I'd much rather have her stay home and work on getting healthy than hurt herself more by going to conference), and I don't want to stay there by myself (can't afford to stay there alone, either). I can always drive to the conference center (I live in the Chicago suburbs) and am pretty sure it would be cheaper to drive and park than to stay in the hotels anyway. I'm not sure what to do. :(

[AJPratt]

Hey, Jen, don't worry about it... you can always change your reservation! I'm sure you're not the only one to book and have your plans change. Once you confirm with your roomie that she isn't going, just contact Travel Planners and let them know. I would do it soon because I don't know when they'll charge you for the rooms or how that works.

They charge for one night around June 15 but we still can cancel a conference hotel up to 72 hours before arrival.

Hey Anne.....nice new picture!

I've been out of town this past week and just now having time to catch-up. Have you and Beth called to complain to a human at HO and TP? If not, you really need to call and speak to a supervisor (both with TP & HO). I called and talked to Beth somebody at HO (option 3 and was transferred to Beth in the Meeting Coordinator dept.) I also spoke to Joe at TP (Joe Patrick, Reservations & Operations Supervisor, Travel Planners, Inc. 381 Park Ave South 3rd Floor New York, NY 10016 212-532-1660 Ext. 2103) I had originally called to complain about the operator I spoke to who wouldn't let me make a reservation w/o names & consultant #s and b/c of that I missed getting a reservation early (I had internet probs and couldn't get on the site). Anyhow, he was most helpful and I got my reservation for a 2-2 w/in a few days.

I hope you all get the rooms you want! I know how aggravating that is.

I did call HO and the operator talked to a supervisor and then said the super would call me back but she never did. I did talk to Joe Patrick. He has been in communication with me (not in the last week though) and has still done nothing. ...well he gave me a voucher for a small discount on a room because this is the THIRD event that my room reservations have been difficult. That does me no good if I don't have a room! I am so tired of complaining and stressing over this. Not sure I even want to attend conferences in the future after all this.

Well, the conferences are SO worth it but this IS very, very stressful!

[lacychef]

I think my group decided this last night....we currently have reservations at Travelodge--1 block from the Hilton; we can cancel at any time with no extra charges--and it's $179/night.
We're going to go ahead & make arrangements at the Sheraton & get on the waiting list for Sunday. THen, if we don't get in there on Sunday, we can cancel within 72 hrs, and still have our rooms at the Travelodge.
I did get a call back from HO, about 4 days after I had left my message; they told me to just get on the waiting list. They said that travel planners was supposed to be opening up more Sunday rooms, and they will fill the ones on the waiting list first.
This is so ridiculous that we even have to worry about it!

(just joining in on the B&A thread:p )

[AJPratt]

Hey Anne.....nice new picture!
Thanks!

Lacy: JOin thr B&A thread any time!

I think what we're doing is, we set up for the Sheraton for the two nights at the conf. rate. The Sheraton had rooms available on Sunday at $265, so my director was talking about reserving one of those. (Or at least I hope she did, and didn't put it off) So, if we don't get the rate, we'll just share a room for Sunday night. I didn't want us to both reserve an extra room and both be put on the wait list... that just seemed to be greedy.

[Kathytnt]

I talked with my director about this issue and she said in the past they have added an additional conference hotel and opened up more rooms. Let HO know what is going on. She has been in the biz for 9+ years. A lot of the directors don't even have rooms and they have a breakfast meeting on Monday.

[AJPratt]

I just called Travel Planners and the guy I spoke with said it takes 5 to day biz days to find out about the wait list and that I should know somewhere between Tues and Fri.

I'm sure they would like to open extra rooms, but my fear is there just won't be any to open because of all of the other things going on in Chicago in July. I sent HO and email and you saw the response I got ,"Just get on a wait list." My phone calls have not been returned either.

[Kathytnt]

I may be on a cot or sleeping on the floor somewhere - I will be the one hunched over with the achy breaky back

LOL

It's my first conference - Been looking forward to going. Couldn't go last year becaue my former wouldn't allow me off work and my mom had just passed away. They promote conference but then don't other to have enough rooms for everyone NICE

I started to reserve a room with the hotel for that Sunday I need but it was over $300 and I was also concerned that if many of us did that there wouldn't be rooms for them to release to TP. Oh, what a pain!

[AJPratt]

It's my first conference - Been looking forward to going. Couldn't go last year becaue my former wouldn't allow me off work and my mom had just passed away. They promote conference but then don't other to have enough rooms for everyone NICE

I'm sorry you had such a rough go of it last year. But I am thrilled that you are going this year and hope to meet up with you!

Yeah, I am trying to be positive and not bash HO, but I am disappointed. I am sure they are getting hit hard about the lodging situation with phone calls and emails, but they KNOW what Chicago is like during July and its not fair to be sold out when I'm sure a number of people haven't registered yet. And its not right to just assume that you won't have people coming in the day before, especially when you schedule a 9AM meeting on Day 1.

Beth: I agree. I had my director reserve on room at full price and then I got on the wait list. This way, we're only tying up one room for the both of us. We may just split the cost of the extra room.

[GeorgiaPeach]

I think my group decided this last night....we currently have reservations at Travelodge--1 block from the Hilton; we can cancel at any time with no extra charges--and it's $179/night.
We're going to go ahead & make arrangements at the Sheraton & get on the waiting list for Sunday. THen, if we don't get in there on Sunday, we can cancel within 72 hrs, and still have our rooms at the Travelodge.
I did get a call back from HO, about 4 days after I had left my message; they told me to just get on the waiting list. They said that travel planners was supposed to be opening up more Sunday rooms, and they will fill the ones on the waiting list first.
This is so ridiculous that we even have to worry about it!

(just joining in on the B&A thread:p )

Thanks Lacy!! I just booked a room at the Travelodge for $169/night. I'd prefer my Hilton reservation to include Sunday but it's SO nice to know that I have Travelodge in my back pocket until the Hilton thing works out.

I've been in Orlando on spring break so haven't had a chance to complain to anyone.

[AJPratt]

What do you have to do to book a room there? Just give them a call?

[AJPratt]

Bumping thread to top!

[GeorgiaPeach]

What do you have to do to book a room there? Just give them a call?

Anne, I just went to www.travelodge.com, typed in "chicago" and the dates. Very simple. I can't believe the relief I felt when that went through! I did mapquest and it is one block away from the Hilton so very easy to walk to the shuttle. I also called TP and was put on the "night request" list to get the 15th added to my reservation.

I've stayed at non-conference hotels before and it is actually alot easier. Not a big crowd at the elevators, etc. One year they ran out of hot water at the Sheraton!

[AJPratt]

Thanks! I'm going to talk with my director and see what she thinks.

[AJPratt]

I GOT IN!! I GOT IN!! I GOT IN!! I GOT IN!! I GOT IN!!

You would think I got TPC or something! LOL I got in for the 15th!!!!


I just got my email from Travel Planners!

[GeorgiaPeach]

I just got my email from Travel Planners!

Okay...I don't feel like reading back through all the posts :) so....did you JUST make a reservation and get in on the 15th or did you already have a reservation but weren't able to get the 15th when you made the original reservation?

[pamperedalf]

Yeah Anne, I am so happy you got in. We should meet up at conference this year. I hope to see you there!!!!.

[AJPratt]

Lisa: I made a reservation and then was put on the dreaded "wait list". I called to follow up today and then just got the email.

Amanda: Yes! We'll have to meet up. Let's compare schedules!

[pamperedalf]

Anne, we have nothing the same. A couple classes are the same but at different times!! I am glad you posted a pic of your new hair style. Now I will look for the right person this time.

[pamperedlinda]

Why thank you....no one has ever said that to me before!

[lacychef]

Awesome Anne; I'm glad you got in:)

Yesterday my director 3-way called me in with Travel Planners. The guy was very helpful. He had us reserve the night of the 14th (we're coming in on Saturday so we have some down time & fun time!). Then, he reserved us the 16th & 17th, and requested the 15th. He said we should know by Friday if we get the 15th or not; and to call if we don't hear back by Friday. Now we're going with the Hilton though; 2 baths:)

[AJPratt]

Why thank you....no one has ever said that to me before!
I don't believe that for one minute! You're banana is fabulous, you probably hear that all the time!

Lacy: I'll PM you.

[AJPratt]

OK... My director just got conf on the room for the 15th, too (at the rate). So, they are moving through that wait list.

[AJPratt]

Got this in Weekly Bites: We have had a great early response with National Conference registration. Please remember that each Consultant may only reserve one room. We are currently finding duplicate rooms booked for the same Consultant. If you have reserved more than one room, you will be contacted by Travel Planners to notify you that only one reservation per Consultant can be honored. As these rooms are released, more become available. If you find there is no availability on a particular night, please contact Travel Planners at 800-221-3531 to have your name added to the wait list. Travel Planners and the Meetings & Incentives department are working with the hotels to add rooms to our inventory for these nights as needed. We thank you and look forward to seeing everyone in July.

[AJPratt]

Beth: Any luck for you?!

[BethCooks4U]

Beth: Any luck for you?!
No. Still waiting. Looks like we'll be in the lobby.

[lacychef]

No. Still waiting. Looks like we'll be in the lobby.

LOL! Well, at least it's a pretty lobby:p

Glad to see they're moving along with the waiting list...
I thought that was interesting too in the weekly bites! (also about the myspace advertising!) Oh, but I don't want to hijak the thread there!

Last year I received an email from TP saying that there was a "duplicate consultant" in my room. I contacted them because I knew that the 4 in my room did not have another room. They couldn't tell me who it was yet I was contacted 3 times via email about it! Maybe they should have us give them the consultant numbers of everyone in the room so that no one can hog all the rooms!

[Katrob]

I am still on the waiting list for the 15th. It has been 7 days now....
Maybe I will see beth in the lobby. Or we will be in the park...

[BethCooks4U]

Sorry but I'll be there on the 8th (Wave 1 - see apology for joining your thread earlier). The thing that really angers me is that I had my reservation in within 24 hours of them opening the registration and I STILL don't have a room for Sunday night :mad: AND they say they are not guaranteeing that I will get the same rate IF I get a room!:eek:

[Katrob]

oh that's right, you are in wave 1. I forgot.
I think most of us booked plenty early! This is a rediculous way to run business. My husband is all ready giving me a bad time that I have to pay for this. His company pays for 2500 managers air fare and hotel for their conference. He has nothing to worry about except showing up!

[AJPratt]

You should be hearing any day then. Call them, too. That's how long I was on the list... 7 days.

[AJPratt]

Beth: Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will work out. I am sure there are people who are not going. I wish I was in your wave. I would be glad to share my room with you.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Anne...aren't you going with your husband? Not sure Beth would go for that! :eek: :D LOL!

[BethCooks4U]

Anne...aren't you going with your husband? Not sure Beth would go for that! :eek: :D LOL!
Well, it depends on how cute he is.























OMG!:eek: Did I say that? Just kidding really!:rolleyes:

[GeorgiaPeach]

Well, it depends on how cute he is.

BETH!! I'm shocked!! :eek: I'm dying laughing...but I'm shocked!!

They say that still waters run deep :)

[GeorgiaPeach]

Hey wait! I'M in Wave 3 and am on the waiting list for the 15th.....Anne, can you post a pic of your husband? :D

See what you started, Beth!

[Chefgirl2]

LISA! I am shocked! Those zebra pants you bought for the decade/charade party have made you a wild woman! What would your preacher husband think? Besides, I want to sleep with you! I know...it's impossible, since I even talk in my sleep!

Hmm...you know I freak my new consultants out by telling them, as we get ready for bed, that my biggest fear is I will wake up groping them because I think they are my husband. Eewwww!!!

I know...so wrong. I can't seem to stop. I can't wait until July!
It's okay if you all want to use that line. Just like a show, I'll share all of my tips! We got to make it FUN!

Hey Lisa, I might have space in my room. So far, it is just Trinitii and me the first night. I am encouraging my frugal team to drive up Monday AM. Keep trying to get your room. Because I know how Pampered you really are!

Ah...my zebra/pleather pants...that director's dance in San Antonio was the most fun I think I've ever had at a PC event :) That pic is right here in my office...too bad I don't know how to scan it and post for all to see :)

After last year's "snoring fiasco" (my bed actually vibrated from the snores in the bed next to me!! No exaggeration!!) I want my OWN bed in my OWN quiet little room :)

As for my preacher husband....who do you think picked out the zebra pants!!? :D

[BethCooks4U]

I just got a call from Travel Planners!! I got my room for the 8th!!!

Whew! :D :D

[AJPratt]

http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/party/party-smiley-020.gif
Yea, Beth!!!

[Katrob]

EXCELLENT!!
So, you got me excited that maybe they will call me! Now I can't find my phone. I think my husband took it on accident!!

[AJPratt]

OMG! Elaine, Lisa.... you guys are killing me! I have to post a picture of Dave. BTW: He is VERY cute, if I do say so.

[BethCooks4U]

OMG! Elaine, Lisa.... you guys are killing me! I have to post a picture of Dave. BTW: He is VERY cute, if I do say so.

Here's a link to a picture of him. I couldn't upload a photo... the files were too big.

Hey... I'm always one to give credit where it is due! Beth, Lisa, Elaine... you gusy are killing me.

Now go check out my cute husband!

[pamperedalf]

Anne, that is too funny. He is pretty cute (looks like an old boyfriend of mine, and no it wasn't him).

Beth I am so glad that you won't be camping in the lobby. Yeah doing the happy dance for you!!:):)

[GeorgiaPeach]

Okay...I scanned the pic of my zebra pants :) but I can't upload it!! It says it's too big. Someone have any tips?

I wound up using a link from another site. You might be able to paste it into a word document and then upload that.

[BethCooks4U]

Hmmm... I wonder if I can switch to wave 3.






















Just kidding!!! I am very, very happy with my own DH!!!!!

[AJPratt]

You are too funny. He's a very FUNNY guy, too. Cute AND entertaining.

[lacychef]

Glad you got in Beth! Travel planners told me that if I didn't hear from them by Friday to call & check......I have to get my email back up & running today, maybe I have an email waiting for me!

[jentapp]

Well, my director told me yesterday to keep my reservation. She called me back with one name and said that she'll find me 2 more. YAY!!!

I also spoke to someone at TP yesterday and was told (when I joked about getting me moved to the Hilton since that's where my ED and D will be) that they are working hard on getting more rooms. She put me on the dreaded wait list. :D

I'm back to being excited about NC and seeing all of the new products (from the sound of it, there are a LOT of them!). :D

[AJPratt]

If she doesn't find anyone, I might know someone...

[AJPratt]

Anyone, anyone?

[lacychef]

I still haven't heard if we're in on the 15th or not....I'll probably call on Monday.

[AJPratt]

I still haven't heard if we're in on the 15th or not....I'll probably call on Monday.
Sorry to hear that. Yes! Give them a call. Now that Beth and I aren't harrassing them, surley their phone lines have freed up!

[GeorgiaPeach]

I still haven't heard if we're in on the 15th or not....I'll probably call on Monday.

I was put on the "night request" list 10 days ago. I was told it'd take 7-10 days to hear something. I just called TP and was told (in a VERY "sorry about your luck" tone of voice) that "there are 100's of consultants on the night request list" and that "we update the list every two weeks, the hotel might decide to give us more rooms or not, you don't need to keep calling us back, we don't know". Excuse me?? What kind of customer service is that?? That came from a supervisor! The first guy I talked to couldn't answer any of my questions so he transferred me.

ERRRR.....NOT happy with them today :mad: Sorry, just had to vent that!

[AJPratt]

Lisa: That is just awful! Your feelings are completely justified. What a crappy answer. If it were me, I'd give them a day or so, and then make reservations at Travelodge. That's what I was going to do moments before I got the confirmation email.

Hmmmm....maybe TP has lurkers on here!!! :eek: I posted this....went to pick my kids up from school and when I got home there was a message on my machine from the supervisor telling me he had gotten me a room for the 15th! What a coincidence!! ;)

[AJPratt]

PHEW! I am THRILLED for you!

[pamperedlinda]

Yeah for you! I am SO NOT impressed with Travel Planners! I get an email from them every week telling me that someting is wrong with my reservation! Thankfully I have the name, email address and phone number of one of the managers. I keep forwarding the emails to him. He keeps apologizing for the confusion.....WTF! Just do your darn job....correctly!

[lacychef]

Here's the email I just got from TP.....

hopefully I'll hear good news soon! I was just going to call them today, then I got this email. I guess at least I know they haven't forgotten about me:rolleyes:

[AJPratt]

That's funny, Lacy... I never got an email saying I was on a wait list. I guess I just had to trust them. LOL

[GeorgiaPeach]

I received this same email today AFTER I received a call yesterday saying I had a room for the 15th! My guess is that since they are having trouble getting rooms they want to send the email so that they aren't bombarded with phone calls from irate consultants (like that girl from Georgia that called them yesterday!!) ;)

[AJPratt]

(like that girl from Georgia that called them yesterday!!) ;)

Gotta watch out for her!

[BethCooks4U]

I received the same email today too!! And I got confirmation that I had my room back on April 25th! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO not impressed with TP. This was the THIRD time I had trouble with reservations through them (and I won't be sure that it's over until I get in the room - the last time they had my room TOTALLY messed up. I had a quad booked and was told by a TP manager that quad according to that hotel was a king and a pull out sofa.:eek: On their records it said "King suite" so I should have realized that - it was not stated that way on anything I had or I would have questioned it!!)

I cannot believe that PC still uses them! I can't believe I am the only one that has trouble time after time.:rolleyes:

[GeorgiaPeach]

When talking to the supervisor yesterday I made the comment that I've been with PC for 9 years and this kind of thing happens every year. He said, "Well, our records show that you had a room for all 4 days last year." It threw me so I didn't respond. Then after hanging up (isn't that when we think of the great comebacks!!) I realized that last year I ended up canceling my reservation and rooming with two girls from another cluster because they had a room for all days and I didn't!!

I SO wanted to call him back and tell him that!! In my opinion, it doesn't matter if in the end I have a room for the days I originally wanted....it's the hassle we go through trying to get it all to work out!! :mad:

HO wants as many consultants as possible to attend NC but when something as simple as making a hotel reservation turns into a very stressful situation, it puts a cloud over the whole thing. Yes, in the end, I have enjoyed every conference I've attended but that is no excuse for poor planning and poor customer service.

[AJPratt]

They have an answer for everything and have no fault. PC has not responded at all to any comments I have made about TP so they obviously are not seeing the frustration we have. I bet the execs don't have to go through any of this hassle.

That's funny. My Dad used to forget the "e" at the end of my name, so when I'd leave him a note, I'd write: Da instead of Dad,

Alison, I know what you mean. Fortunately, I did not have a bad experience with TP. I mean, it was frustrating to be on "the $hit list" but everyone I spoke with was pretty pleasant. After hearing some of the reports from the other posters here, I am glad I didn't run into anyone like they did. With my mouth, I'd be out on the street.

[lacychef]

OH my goodness Anne...your past few posts are cracking me up:D

I got my official confirmation email for the Hilton (wave 3) and need a couple of non-smoking roomies (I have tobacco allergies). My room is for Sunday evening through Tuesday morning.

I won't be on here for a couple of weeks after tomorrow (I will be around today and tomorrow, though, and will check my messages). If anyone needs a room for all 3 days, please PM me.

Jen, Do you mean you have a room until WEDNESDAY morning? The conference doesn't end until Wed. Just wanted to clear that up, especially for new consultants :)

[jentapp]

LOL

Yes...until Wednesday morning. LOL
I've still got so much to do before my vacation (we leave tomorrow) that my mind is GONE!! :D

[lacychef]

Hahaha, guess what.....I had an email yesterday saying to call by today to get first rooms at the Palmer Hilton, which is now a conference hotel. So I asked my director what we should do. She called TP, & we now have rooms at the Sheraton! Don't know how, but we're in for all the days we need! I'm just glad we don't have to worry anymore:rolleyes:

[soccermama]

COOL! I just booked at the Palmer House! I really wanted to stay there (the 2 bed and 2 bath thing!!!!! With 4 women, that's a MUST!!! lol)

Now I need to cancel my travellodge reservation!

[woodysir]

We are looking for 2 roommates for July 14 thru the 18th !! We are going a day early !! We already have a room at the Hilton-2baths !! If you are coming in on the 15th thats okay too !!

My clustermate Trish is looking for a room that just needs another person. She does have a room reserved, but if she can't find enough people to fill it or she can bunk with someone else then she's going to release it. I'll have her get in touch with you if she decides to release it. It's a double bed room I believe. Only Monday - Wed checkout though! :eek:

[AJPratt]

Did everyone get everything worked out?
