Hi friends and family:
We've been getting mixed messages from one of the hotels we've got a block at, the AmericInn. (See original Lodging posting, 1.18.2009.) When one of our friends called to reserve, he was told that our block was full. We called to check on that and were told that while the hotel as a whole was filling up, our block actually still had a lot of space. Then another friend told us she, too, had been told that our block was full, and had to reserve a suite instead. Which, awesome as the Duck Decoy Suite is, still: Grr.
It seems like different representatives at the hotel are telling people different things, and sometimes just sending people along to central booking where they can't do anything about our block, anyway. We're trying to sort it out. In the meanwhile, please let us know if you're having any trouble with your reservations by commenting here or by emailing us.
Apologies, in advance, for the trouble.
And by the way, please make those reservations soon!

Update:
ReplyDeleteApparently the AmericInn switched to a new reservations system sometime in the past couple months, and our block didn't translate properly. We've hopefully worked it all out now, and, ASIDE FROM OUR BLOCK, THE HOTEL IS FULL. So make those reservations REALLY soon, if you haven't. :-)
If you made a reservation and were told that you couldn't get our rate, please check in with them and make sure you do. Let us know if you have any problems.
Additionally, some sad news about another place we'd suggested folks could stay - Anderson House, which many will know as the "cat hotel": they are now, apparently, closed (http://www.twincities.com/travel/ci_11983621).
ReplyDeleteNot only was this place adorable and historic, not only did they let you pick a cat to keep in your room, but they had a fantastic restaurant. Bummer.
