View all threadsRe: trouble with hotel
Hi everyone,
Our room block is officially sold out - good for GBW, inconvenient on an
individual level -- as is most of the Graduate for that period of time. Our
representative with HelmesBriscoe is looking into booking an additional,
smaller block of rooms at a nearby hotel.
I'm not sure what the timeline on adding additional rooms will be, or
whether or not it's to GBW's advantage to pursue a second block of rooms,
but I can report back when I have more info.

Subject: [GBW] trouble with hotel
Colleagues--
I tried to reserve a room at the Graduate Providence for Standards. First
I tried using the online link, but the rates I saw were much higher than
the $179.00 per night that our web site listed. I tried clicking various
places and even tried to find a place to put the Group Reservation Code to
no avail.
Finally as a last disparate act, I called the hotel, as it seems I could
do per out site. I was told that staff could not make a reservation over
the phone and if I was seeing different rates, I needed to talk to my
organization.
Is anyone else having trouble with the hotel? I will probably look for
other places to stay.

Jennifer;
I am registered and paid for Standards. Unfortunately I have had a health problem and was hospitalized. I have been released at this time I had planned to call the hotel today to cancel the reservation. Do you know whether the hotel would allow me to transfer to reservation to someone else? If so, can you help?

Hi Mary,
We are in the process of securing an additional block of discounted rooms
at a hotel very near to Graduate. If you haven't booked anything yet, you
may want to wait on that info -- I should have a link within the next few
days.
All the best,
Jennifer Pellecchia (she/her/hers)
