That had occurred to me but my boss won't be happy when I submit a hotel bill for $1000/nt

Yes, I thought it would be more realistic for an individual property to maintain a list, particularly for an event where they have blocked the rooms.

It won't be efficient for them to have my secretary call them every hour for the next 3 months. Or for other attendees who want rooms to keep calling.
