I am currently negotiating a group rate with the Renaissance Worthington but before I commit to something...

How many of the potential attendees will book with the hotel for a revenue stay?

I realize lots of folks are doing Take Two right now and that others like to Priceline hotels. I've pointed out to the hotel that they are likely to have the majority of our guests whether they give us a good rate or not so they might as well get the extra marginal revenue and not let it go to Priceline. The Sales Manager is going to go up a level with the Priceline bidding data I gave her.

While the Worthington has a good history on Priceline, however, I would issue a STRONG caution that the other hotel in the same category is the Radisson Plaza and that place is a PIT!

Anyhow... could I get a headcount on how many folks would actually do a revenue stay so I can see if I can meet the ten room minimum for a rate?
