Up to the minute news...
With the passing of my Marriott reservation laison, the Hotel is asking all conventioneers who have to cancel their rooms for the 2009 Barbie Convention for any reason. PLEASE do through me (Nancy Parsons).
If you cancel through the Hotels 800 numbers, the convention will loose that room in our room block. They will not replace that room with another conventioneer. Only through me can we replace a room with another conventioneer on the wait list. So I have to know who is canceling so I can keep our rooms.
The only way a conventioneer can get into our room block is through me now.

If you are canceling your rooms at the Omni Hotel you can do so directly through Jennifer Gallagher, my Hotel reservations person. This will make things easier, for the 800 numbers keep insisting on one night non-refundable fee. And that is not right. As long as you cancel before Friday June 19th, 2009 their are no fees.
Her info is: Jennifer Gallagher jgallagher@omnihotels.com 1-202-756-5131
Please only call her for cancelations...Do not call her for anything else.
