The link above will take you to the reservation page for the SGDQ 2015 hotel. Things to note:

- SGDQ is July 26 - August 1. Dates with the discounted rate are July 24 - August 3.

- YOU HAVE UNTIL JULY 6 TO BOOK A ROOM.

- You must click the link given above to receive the discounted rate. After you click through, you need to select your dates and number of guests on the bottom left. After you enter that information, you will be taken to a page where you can select your room under the SGDQ discount.

- It is recommended that you book only 1 room per reservation, with up to 4 people. If your people:room ratio is greater than 4:1, it will not allow you to book.

- Even though parking is listed as $18/day on the site, it is $12/day for our group, as previously mentioned on the forums. They simply cannot change the page.

- You must complete the certification in the Terms and Conditions on the payment page to reserve a room. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE. YOU DO NOT NEED SOMEONE WHO IS 21+ TO CHECK IN WITH YOU, BUT YOU MUST CHECK THE BOX ANYWAY TO PROCEED. We have this agreement with the hotel in writing, and there will not be any problems for SGDQ attendees who do not have an adult who is 21+ in their group.

Please note the following information, taken from their website and the confirmation email you will get upon reserving your room:

Cancellation Policy: Canceling your reservation after 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on 24 July, 2015, or failing to show, will result in a charge of 1 night per room to your credit card. Taxes may apply. Failing to call or show before check-out time after the first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of your reservation.

I'm absolutely going to join in at least for a day or 2. I'll just crash at my house though Tongue

Crawlathon WR, get down on my level.

Also important to note: this is ONLY for hotel registration, this does not register you for the event itself! That will be launching in the near future.

Is this the thread for looking for others to share a room with, or will a thread on this be going up shortly?

EDIT: Apparently I wasn't looking hard enough. That's what I get for being up at 4:30 AM, I suppose.

will there be any negative effect (for anyone, not just my group) if we reserve as 4 people, but only 3 end up going? we're not yet certain that the fourth person will be able to make it.

You're splitting the costs of the room among yourselves. So if one person drops, you're going to be paying more.

Hey guys! Small question: I am on mobile and the link goes straight to their homepage and when I try to book for the dates it says no more rooms available.
Is this a mobile thing or is the hotel really complete?
I'm away from home for couple days still, I'll try again when I have access to my PC.

I can get rooms on PC, so it's either your mobile device or you're just confused as to what you're seeing. You SHOULD see a "Welcome to Crowne Plaza St. Paul-Riverfront". Just set the date on the left and click Check Rates and Availability to book your rooms.

But thanks I'll check it out when I'm back home

So if we don't make a reservation at the hotel we can still go to the event right? (Staying at my place). And I'm 17, am I allowed to go anyways?

Yes to question 1, you are allowed to go even if you don't book a room. We do have a few people that live in the Twin Cities area that are not staying at the hotel.

And yes for question 2. You just have to be 16+ (according to the site) to attend by yourself. You just have to register in advance.

Something witty

Are we able to change the amount of people are in a room we reserve after we reserve a room? (i.e., if we book for 3 adults, can we change it to 4 adults later on?)

Is the hotel actually out of rooms now?

I will check on the status of the rooms on Monday. There might be certain types of rooms not available, or rooms not available for the specific arrival/departure day range you're looking for (since they can't make you move to a different room halfway through the event). That said, I'm 99% sure we haven't filled the hotel, we're just filling up our reserve block.

We're in contact with the hotel, waiting to hear back on how many more rooms they can open up for us. Doesn't sound like they're totally packed yet, but will have exact details as soon as the hotel gets back to us with the pickup report.

Edit: Okay a few more details, still waiting on final numbers. There's another group coming in that has blocked off some of the rooms, so there's less available than anticipated. Their reservation closes on July 1st, at which point remaining rooms will be open to us.

The hotel is also looking at overflow rates for connected hotels (across the skyway, in other words, a very short indoor walk). I will provide you all with more details as I have them.

Just checking in to see if any new details are here a week later. If you don't want me asking once a week, at what point can we either expect new details or feel okay about asking without bugging you guys from what I know is an incredibly hectic schedule.

There were some more rooms opened up but they are limited. More rooms MAY open up on July 1st, but we won't know until then. Once July 1st rolls around, we will have all the information we need to move forward.

Note: the first day of the event (July 26th) is particularly heavily booked. If you don't need to stay the first night (or can room with someone) you may have more luck.

that would be correct as king bed rooms have a max occupancy of 3 people...

To explain this in a little more detail cancelation policy is 6pm the day prior to arrival. (however if you call the hotel vs central reservations they will normally allow you to cancel the day of based on circumstance.. just saying you don't need the room any more wont cut it... be creative.

Say you make your reservation for Tuesday-Sat... and don't show on Wednesday.. you will be charged for Tuesday evening and the rest of your stay nights wed-sat will be cancelled... as the hotel is sold out I would make sure that you don't do this.

Hotel check in time is 3pm and checkout time is at noon, while you can request an early check its not guaranteed
