Wow, you all were quick! The Westin room blocks sold out in under 6 hours from the time reservations went live.
If you were unable to get a room at The Westin, there are still rooms available at The Aloft, our overflow hotel located about a block down D street from The Westin. Note that this is considerably closer to the Westin than last year's overflow hotel.
If you would like to get put on the waitlist for a room at The Westin, you can do so by filling out our Special Request form located here:
http://www.arisia.org/HotelSpecialRequests. Making a reservation at the overflow hotel does not hurt your chances of getting into The Westin off the waitlist, and since the new deposit policy does not apply to the overflow hotel (see our Deposit Policy FAQ here:
http://www.arisia.org/HotelDepositFAQ), there is no penalty for cancelling your reservation should you get assigned a room at The Westin.
Check out the Hotel page on our website
