Olds Nats Hotel Room

Anybody have a room @ the host hotel,the Marriott they are not going to use for the Olds Nats? I have a room @ the Hampton close by but would like to get into the host hotel if possible. If anybody put up a deposit and are not going,I will give the deposit back for the room. Contact me @ pchopesq@aol.com

Thanks

Mike

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I doubt very much you can get a room this way. If someone has to cancel their reservation, the hotel very likely will not let them choose who gets to have it in their place. The hotels maintain waiting lists just for this situation and will offer the room to the person at the top of the list and go down from there.

If the hotels ever did allow people to give (or sell) their no-longer-needed rooms to a person of their choosing, they open up the possibility that a person could reserve more rooms than they need and start scalping them.

Yes,we are going to have a motorhome on the premises. I have a room @ the Hampton a mile away and was just trying to get into the host hotel. My buddy is staying in the house on wheels and he offered to let us stay but we had rather not.

FYI,there is no waiting list and I'm glad you're on top of the situation like you are with everything else.
