Anthrocon's Hotels: Please read before reserving!

A one-night deposit (room and tax) will be required for all hotel reservations; unlike last year, it will be charged when you make the reservation. That deposit will not be refundable if a reservation is canceled. Anthrocon strongly recommends that its members not book a room until they are reasonably certain that their plans will not change.

Special Note For All Hotel Guests: Our kind hosts at the Westin and Doubletree Hotels remind us that even if a room is not to be made up, the housekeepers must nonetheless make entry to each room every day to ensure that it is up to standards. This caused some concern in previous years when attendees left their "do not disturb" signs posted for the entire weekend. If you intend to stay in either the Westin or the Doubletree, you MUST agree to the following policy, which is repeated in the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct: Housekeepers will not begin their rounds until 10:00 AM each day. Thereafter they will initially bypass rooms with "do not disturb" signs on the doors, but at the end of their rounds they must return to those rooms and will have to knock on the door. Attendees must allow housekeeping staff access to the room at that time. If you do not agree to this policy, then please consider a different hotel.

An explanation as to why this policy has been enacted can be found here.

Note: There is no mechanism by which a deposit for a particular room can be transferred from one person to another. If you must cancel your hotel room, you must assume all responsibility for arranging how the finances will be handled. There are many potential dangers in transferring pre-paid registrations, particularly to someone you do not know. Again, we cannot stress it enough: do not reserve a room until you are reasonably certain that you will be attending!
