I wish NAR would block hotels at some other hotels for their conventions other than $100-200 a night facilities. I have to pay for the travel, the convention, hotels, meals, etc., out of my own pocket so I try to be frugal. I have negotiated some pretty good deals at other hotels nearby and blocked them for the next week at prices ranging from $55-$75 (plus standard fees/taxes) instead that are still walking distance to the convention center.
I have ten rooms reserved at each facility so let me know if you would like one of these rooms. You might even check into the ability to cancel other existing reservations so you can buy me a cup of coffee for saving you some money and we can network.
I even found an option for a 2 star hotel for much less but it was about six miles away and the savings can be eaten up in parking fees and time pretty quickly.
One of the great things about this is that I just give you the codes and you book the specific type of room you want (subject to availability) at the hotel directly. You give them your credit card data, not me!
If this goes over well, I will do it on a larger scale in the future.
Please feel free to reblog this so people can learn about it and save some money.
