SWC22 Anaheim Hotels

The hotel I booked through the Connections site is supposed to charge a one night deposit around April 28th.

 

I had forgotten I also tried to get Anaheim Marriott, and just got an email saying I'm confirmed for all but Sunday night - no worse than my fairfield reservation, If I can get Marriott...

 

I called to see what the waitlisting was all about and got a very curt answer that 'Sunday night is waitlisted.'

I went back into reservations and was able to get Anaheim Marriott for all five nights we will be there, and the email I got says confirmed.

Now I have three reservations. I'm curious what each one will do moving forward.

 

Just tried to modify my room from a King bed to two beds at the Hilton but they wanted double the price. They were the same price when I booked the reservation and they had the room available but kept saying prices are dynamic and would not budge. Lesson learned, always reserve two beds in the future.
Edit: My reservation was not through the Hotel block. It was made directly via the Hotel website

 

@JonSB Did you get that through the Hotel block ? In my confirmation it said hotels may charge a night beginning on the April 28. Though many probably won't that is a date many people will decide to keep their reservations or not. What days are you staying ?

 

@zcure1 No, this was directly from Hilton on their site. I did have another reservation through the hotel block but I canceled that two weeks ago. I do remember the notice that they may charge a night beginning April 28th. Right now I am coming in on Tuesday and leaving Monday

 

I booked through Connections and saw the 4/28/22 one night room and tax message. I called Best Western today and was told that I wasn’t in their reservation system yet. I’ve never booked using the official hotel block before (in the past I used my Marriott employee rate) so I’m not sure how or when I’ll receive confirmation details.

 

I got charged my first night when going through the block for Chicago, but I think it depends on the hotel. We will see what happens tomorrow (if anything).

 

Was Connections, or Onpeak that did Chicago? I didn't get charged anything until I actually got to Chicago and checked in at Hyatt Regency on East Wacker..

Onpeak.

I said it depends on hotel.

 

It looks like a lot of the closer hotels to the convention center are open on Connections if anyone was still hoping to grab a room at one of those.

 

@JonSB full week available now for Hilton Anaheim through the hotel block https://book.passkey.com/event/50187353/owner/14227/rooms/list?sort=default

 

That sucks! My reservations at the Marriott are twice the price and non refundable. I booked to make sure I had something and now I wish I hadn't.

 

Thanks! My reservation is about $100 cheaper than the hotel block but the two bed is available so I may change it to them.

 

Thanks for this! I just booked Tue 24th- Mon 30th at Hilton thru the hotel block. Only $60 more /night from where I had booked previously

 

Not sure if it's still there but read yesterday that the Presidential Suite at either the Hilton or Marriot (can't remember which) was showing available via the hotel site. Just a cool $1900+ per night!

 

We could turn it into hostel and charge per person per night and if we get about 60 people per night we may be able to make a few bucks...

 

I'm surprised Ewan didn't book it with the money he's taking from me.

 

As a brief follow up, I was charged one night room and tax today, so I can rest assured that I’ll have a place to stay at the end of May.

 

I haven't been charged anything yet.

 

So, if we all pitch in, we could have a helluva Kenobi screening party...

 

Is it wrong part of me is thinking about buying a returning a really nice TV from Best Buy so I don't have to use the room TV?

Would never do it but man I really don't want to watch the first half the series in bad quality before I go home. (yes, I know, first world problems).

 

I'll bring my work laptop anyway, and could also bring a hdmi cable for the hotel room. By looking at room photos on the Clarion website, I can't tell if the room TVs have an hdmi port or not...

I have a pretty nice 1080p 2000 Lumen projector I can bring. It can go up to 300 inches. I'm happy to haul it if someone wants to nail down a venue and a sound system. I don't arrive until Friday evening though so I may not be there in time.
