Yes, we're going for a group rate discount. Basically there's no other discounts that can be used because of the other events going on this weekend, so the only discount we can go for is as a group. And yes, your hilton points can still be used specifically for your room, i just called and confirmed this.

Also for beds, the people listed below, these are all one bed rooms. The rate is the same for 2, so if you specifically need 2 beds, please say this up front, or you'll be at the mercy of availability if you change this at the time of booking. Here's the updated list though:

Room 1 - Myself, gf
Room 2 - smr87;
Room 3 - GunGuru727; gf
Room 4 - Lakespeed6; gf
Room 5 - jfspeed6; wife
Room 6 - exentix;
Room 7 - NJSPEED3;
Room 8 - doubleflusher; 2 beds
Room 9 - rfinkle2; 2 beds.....technically lol
Room 10 - superskaterxes;
? Room 11 - 802MS3;
? Room 12 - spnkr21;
Room 13 - @Steve6; 2 beds
Room 14 - tommy;

[Tommy]

Cool. When can we start booking?

[Fail_6]

Asap, that's the point of the thread. There's 2 weddings that weekend, so there's going to be less availability than normal. Thus the sooner the better, and we can guarantee peeps coming don't end up sleeping outside, or worse, at the ho jo lol

[Steve6]

I'll need 2 queens in my room.
As much as I love my brother, I'm not sharing a bed with him

[jfspeed6]

@PartiAudiMazdarati; what are you trying to get for a room rate when you negotiate? Let us know as soon as we can book!

[GunGuru727]

@atvfreek; What's the deal bro? You don't wanna be part of the New Kids On The Block? Lol

If someone wants the bed in my room, I don't like to sleep in beds, so we can use my 1 bed room as a 2 person room, and I'll crash in a chair.

Yes, it sounds gay, I know.

[ms3blackmica]

Oh the new things you learn about rfinkle2

Goal is no more than $130 lol.....yes, that is a good $40 off what they're asking right now, but fuck it if there's like 20 of us in this one particular booking; that's legit close to $3000 they're bringing in, off of ONLY us, and this isn't factoring concessions and other shit of the sort. That rate indeed WILL be coming down, $169 with no applicable discounts because of a wedding sounds like a bunch of shit, more like greedy sob's in the back office taking everyone they can for a ride that weekend

I hear ya!! When do you think we can start to book? Sometime in the next few days?

[Fail_6]

Yes, that's the plan. Figure the more the merrier. Want to try to throw as many reservations in this as we can, so we actually have a shot at making a legitimate case for a better rate, as in $40 bucks off every room. I don't know how many more we can add, or what the magic number will be, but from the looks of this, we should have a pretty strong leg for negotiations. Figure let's wait it out a little longer, til like Monday, 2/11 though, and take what we have to the negotiation table then. That'll give some peeps time to answer, add a few more names, maybe, and we still have time to add some more names to aid in negotiations if necessary

The girl at the desk is pretty cool though, might have to take care of her in the back when we get down there hahaha, customer service has been excellent. Everytime I call she's like "You setting it up today?".....and I'm like,

".............naaaah"

Good times haha

They always seem to be good at the Hilton! They are always helpful no matter which one I have been to.

[Fail_6]

Agreed. Honestly, I've never stayed at one before. Normally Holiday Inn, the Marriott and of course the ho jo, once and only once lol....Kinda curious what sort of service Paris' family is providing lol

[jfspeed6]

I've stayed at a few different ones and they always seem to hire the nice people. Whenever I go somewhere I try to make sure there is a hilton around so I can stay there and not anywhere else.

O it's happening, no doubt about it lol, it's not impossible. Just going to be a little difficult probably, but there's a lot of us. We should be able to make a compelling argument.

And rfinkle......well shit dude, I'm not asking about the sleeping situation lmao. There's some shit you have to ask yourself......do I really want to know?? hahaha

[Fail_6]

Last call if anyone wants to add their name for the group discount list in Post #7 . Negotiations will start tomorrow around 1 pm

Remember, the more people the better our chances

[Tommy]

Whats the verdict?

[Fail_6]

Haven't forgot about you guys.

Apparently the front desk cannot schedule more than 9 rooms, so we specifically need to speak with the sales dept. Rep's name is Ashley, but i caught her on break, so was unable to speak with her before she left. She's in at 830 tomorrow, so i'll be calling while i'm getting my oil changed.

[Fail_6]

Well just talked to the sales agent....

I swear sometimes I underestimate myself. The goal was $130 per room, so how does $129 sound? I don't muther fuck around lol...i need to create a rooming list, meaning names, contact numbers, what sort of beds you want (king, queen, etc) and will need to send it to her in the near future. She's sending me the contract tonight, so i hope to have this booked by Friday

On a side note, if anyone wants to add themselves to the list, just mention me on the thread and i can update it as long as rooms are available. If you cannot make it, please let me know beforehand!!!

Can't stress this enough, if you cancel with less than 24 hrs notice, it's a $75 fee charged to MY card.....don't be that guy.

Seriously. Don't be that guy

I'll be mentioning people in post 7 to pm me the rooming info

Yea boys, this is damn sure going down

[jfspeed6]

So do we just pay when we get there? Or are they taking that info over the phone?

[superskaterxes]

i dont mind splitting a bed with peeps (no homo), as long as you dont try and snuggle me like @Captain KR;

[Fail_6]

No. No one's paying anything until we actually get there to book. Only thing we're doing now is just blocking off the rooms. When we get there everyone will provide a credit or debit card, and set up individually

[jfspeed6]

Ok that's what I though we were doing.

[Grumpyjap]

once again thank you @PartiAudiMazdarati; for taking the lead on this.

[doubleflusher]

I would prefer 2 beds.

[Lakespeed6]

I've been told I'm a good snuggler @GunGuru727;

[Captain KR]

Originally Posted by superskaterxes i dont mind splitting a bed with peeps (no homo), as long as you dont try and snuggle me like @Captain KR;

this time i am not rooming with faggots that go to bed @9pm i dont like throwing up by myself

[Tommy]

I just need a bed (any size), a fridge, an ironing board, two rolls of gorilla duct tape, a turkey baster and jello.... lots and lots of jello.

[doubleflusher]

Don't forget the camera and the mirror.

[Tommy]

Originally Posted by doubleflusher Don't forget the camera and the mirror.

That's a given. I'll text you. Lol

[rfinkle2]

Did I miss something?

[Fail_6]

Nah man, i'm missing something though, like everyone info's except for the 2 people that sent me shit.

I need the name, bed size requested, how many beds, a phone #. Also would like to know if you'd be open to adding someone to your room (that you might not know)

that's it.

I understand this is not tomorrow, so it feels like there's a lot of time to work with. Bottom line this woman is doing all of us including myself a hell of a favor, and i cannot lock anything in until i sign the reservation and send over a list of the people.

It would also make it alot easier for those that want to go halfsies with someone else, so i know if anyone is open to or hoping they could add someone to their room.

With that said, could muther fuckers please send me the info requested so this is can become a definite?

Thank you, come again

[NJSPEED3]

I'm rooming with flushpuppy.

[Fail_6]

OK, pm it over to me. If so we just lost a room. That could change the rate. I need to know exactly what we're working with. Just from the couple things i've read here, might have to renegotiate from the sounds of it. I don't think we have 14 rooms anymore, maybe not even 9

[Fail_6]

..............

I'm still missing info from 70% of the people looking to be part of the group rate. I was contacted by the sales agent again today about the missing info, as I said before nothing can be confirmed without a list of the people staying.

I understand we're all busy, but I sent myself a test pm of the info needed, which again is:

Name
Contact #
Bed size, beds # requested
Yes/No if open to rooming with a stranger

And funny thing? This took me 1 minute. I could see if I was asking for your social or life of your first born, but this is pretty standard shit.

With that said, I really don't have time to keep fucking around with this, and keep reminding adults of the same shit. I just volunteered to negotiate for the rate and book the rooms since I made the suggestion to book early.

Last day to procrastinate is Friday, 2/22 at 1 pm

If I have your information by then, you'll be included in the booking. If not, call and negotiate your own rate.

You failed to assume I was getting my own room, I'm probably not the only one. @doubleflusher; send this man your credentials
