I've paid & reserved
Hey all . I have paid to attend the August conference . And , i've reserved my room at the Westin hotel . I won't be in the OH block , though . All of the rooms available have 2 beds . I didn't want to share a room , since I snore . My room-mate would get no sleep . lol . If you need to stay off the OH block , for some reason , ask about other specials . Since I'm not in the OH block & won't get that special , I asked . I paid full price for friday & got saturday 1/2 price . This saved me over $50.00 . I hope there will be lots of us from the Wa. board , there .
We also made reservations to stay overnight (eventhough we live in Ballard!). I'm currently booked in the OH special, but was looking on line and found a shopping special for $199 per night, but they give you a $100 gift certificate per night for “the Bellevue Collection" including Bellevue Square, etc.
I am thinking of changing to that as we would likely spend the $200 on clothes, etc so we'll just hold off on a couple of purchases until then. That will bring the effective rate down to $99/night rather than the normal rate of $139/night.
One question, why not use the OH rate and just sleep in one of the beds. I'm sure the empty bed won't care if you snore :)
