Question
I don't see a room type I looked at previously on the Hilton link, is it still available?
Answer
Our Hilton contract only allows them to open up a limited amount of rooms at a time, and we have already had some room types book out. This is apart of the process, and we just have to let Hilton know that we need more of the room type allocated for our group. If you don't see the room type you like, please let us know so we can contact Hilton to open more rooms.
