Hi guys,

Checked availability last night at my preferred hotel in Newark - no problems. I've come to book it this morning only to be told there are no rooms available at any rate. Frustrating, but I tried a nearby Hilton. Same story.

Infact the story is the same for all 20 of the alternative locations in New Jersey and Manhattan. This seems highly irregular.

I appreciate that they've got the Hurricane causing huge problems right now but this is for a stay in October? As a test I tried dates in November, December and even February next year - same story. No rooms anywhere.

A glitch with the booking system perhaps?
