That particular hotel is a tough one. For any other low in-demand hotel, you can book as soon as the reservation calendar opens up 50 weeks in advance or something like that. The new day usually starts at midnight local time. I’ve booked a few hot spots by waiting until midnight and booking right away. You have to book one night at a time this way though.

Actually, what are your dates? I did a few random reward night searches later next year and they were coming up as available.

The Crowne Plaza there is another story though. Booked solid even for paid reservations. Been like that for years.
