So you mean to tell me at least 25 people (if # of rooms allocated) picked that Sheraton before me on day 1?? I can't really imagine even being one person's choice!
It had nothing to do with how quickly you chose it or when you logged in. There were X rooms available per hotel and if you happened to log in when one of those rooms was available (at random throughout the day) then you won.
