my wife just contacted the Holiday Inn at the Capitol Confrence center to check on a few things and check on our room.. we had reserved a room in february for $119.00 a night. today when my wife called they advised my wife that the room rate had changed and that the room was now going to be $189.00 a night. This is a sham and even though i have email confirmations of the orriginal rate and confirmation number they are advising us that $189.00 is now the rate of the room and i can pay that or cancel the room. this is blatant price gouging and we are now in the process of contesting the price change.

anyone who has gotten a reservation for the orrigal quoted rate of $119.00, you might want to check with the hotel to see if they had also done this to you.

i am not happy!!
 
Not sure what you'll be able to do, and that's unfortunate. We had a similar experience in 2009 at D*Con when our hotel intentionally overbooked and when we showed up our room wasn't available. I was almost escorted out by security, and thankfully there was someone there that was able to take over and make something happen because I was irate.

i hate to hear that. myself, wife and the kids have been looking forward to this all year.. this will be our first dragon con and to have it start this way is putting a damper on it. i have gotten all of my records together (OCD kickin in) in preparation for the battle tomorrow when i get the general manager on the phone. if i have to pay that rate then i have to pay that rate for now and i will straighten it out later.

i just don't want anyone else that may be staying at the same place to get blind sided with it when they show up. i don't know about everyone else but i have set a budget for the weekend and saved and this takes a big bite out of that budget.
 
sorry for the double post.. edit won't work for me for some reason..

The wonderful people at Dragon Con were able to help me fix the issue. i sent them an email and within a few hours they made a few phone calls and the hotel called me apologizing for the mix up and was able to fix my rate. the folks at Dragon Con are awesome..

now if i don't have the problem that spase had i will be ok.. now back to cut, glue and repeat. only 13 more days and have alot to get done.
