I feel fortunate to have found a room even at this rate given the situation.

Again, thanks to all for your advice. Persistence and a little luck paid off. The recommendations will come in useful for the future in finding a hotel when a town is packed for a convention.

Definitely call the hotel directly and confirm your reservation. I'd call now (to make sure it went through), and again the day of your trip (to make sure they hold it for late arrival).
