These blocks of rooms will be held in reserve until Monday November 15, 2004. Room availablility after that date cannot be guaranteed, so place your reservation early.

You may visit the web sites of the hotels for additional information, but DO NOT USE THEM TO BOOK YOUR ROOM ONLINE; you would not be able to get the preferential rate in doing so.
