Thanks for the replies guys. Very interesting scorates... I received my proposal and plan on responding to the effect that while I appreciate the proposal, if they had inquired about my needs they would see that I am actually looking for quite a few more hotel rooms if available. We'll see what ends up happening. Regardless, I will be looking into booking myself online, with the FS Hilton 2 blocks away and discussing further with Marriott's Sales Manager... You'd think they'd give this a moments thought, but it appears like I'm just another person asking to book a hotel room... oh well
