Omni Hotel refugees - Are you one of the 100 chosen?

I got the news a couple days ago. Myself, and two other con-goers, have been moved to the Omni Hotel due to the renovations at the Hyatt ( Read more... )

The B and C (?) shuttles will be going to the Omni.

I thought the move was voluntary only?

Not if they didn't have enough volunteers.

It seems they did not get enough people to move to the Omni so they have started emailing peole to inform them of their move to the Omni. So far I have only heard of about 10 such emails. I am betting there are more. A lot of people did not want to move when asked - no matter how sweet the deal.

OMG.. no.. If they move us, fuck. I'm pretty sure we can legitimately claim medical reasons not to have to walk - my husband was in a pretty serious car accident last year.

Well, we'll see, I guess.

We were bumped and ended up getting a room at the Westin. Pretty pissed that I booked a room 11onths ago to get this news less than a week before I arrive in Atlanta.

Most of our group was bumped and will be at the Omni. got the calls yesterday. really sucks.

I also was bumped to the Omni and was pretty pissed about it. I followed the advise on the earlier thread though and now have a room at the Westin. Perks of that switch? I managed to get an extra day at the Westin and save nearly 350 off what I would have had to pay for the Omni even with the comped room.

Like Lanikei from above, I was pretty pissed as I booked the Hyatt when it first came available and they wait till just now to tell us? I specifically wanted a room in the Radius tower and from the other thread they said it was just random and had nothing to do with the rooms you had requested. I was pissed to.

Ah well... I have more money to spend now at Con and get DC TV now.

Ahh those were my posts on both forums. I am very glad that you found a better option then the awesome Omni deal Hyatt offered. That was so laughable.
