Queensbury Hotel:
Please note the drop dates:
For the room block January 20 – January 22, 2012, only 1 of 15 rooms has been reserved so far (John Burts)
For the room block January 28, 2012, 0 of 6 rooms have been reserved with the cut-off date being today.
For the room block beginning February 15, 2012 0 of the 6 rooms have been reserved with the cut-off date being January 15, 2012.
Pending availability the hotel will still honor the discounted rates for each block. Would it possible for you to send out a final reminder via e-mail and let the team know that their credit cards will not be charged until check out. With the holiday season I know that some people are hesitant to place charges on their credit cards.
