The guy in reservations was quick and helpful. "Sure we have rooms". "What room would you like". "How many rooms would you like".

Ended up getting a "Member stay B&B" rate which is very well priced and not some "Platinum (rack) Rate".
I am glad it ended up nicely for you, but as you said, that's not how the website should work.
