[Penguicon-Concom] Hotel Rooms - NOT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, PLEASE.

[Ron Blanchett]

I would insist (if I had the authority to) that we stay way out of this.
It is the hotels problem and they should be left to deal with this on their own.
We should not be involved in any way, shape, or form.
That includes giving away rooms that the hotel is giving us for free.
Getting involved creates (for the people that get bumped) the look of culpability on our part.

If the hotel contacted us about it then that means they are looking
to pass some of the blame off on someone else. And they may also
try to not look for other room for those that get bumped if we get to involved
in this mess. Trust me on this last part I used to work for a hotel and they
tried to pass the buck on over bookings to whom ever they could to keep
from having to find room for those that got bumped.

So, Hilton Corporate decides that their hotels should overbook by about 10%. 
  It turns out that we're overbooked for 8 rooms on Friday and 11 on 
Saturday.  So if any of you are sharing rooms, or would be willing to share 
rooms and cancel one of their reservations, PLEASE let me know.  We're going 
to start booting people in a few days.  I'm not sure what is going to be 
offered to these people, but they're going to be doing something.

I'd like to keep this here, so the whole world doesn't think we're a bunch 
of idiots, since the hotel is clearly at fault for this.

Just one more reason we should pick a decent hotel... like, you know, the 
Troy Marriott. :)

Thanks!
