CH1 2008: Last minute hotel room requests

Hi Folks,
Please read if you are still thinking about coming to CH1 and did not get a hotel room, canceled earlier, and now decided you still need a room. I received a few requests this week from inquiring minds about last minute hotel rooms at the Seascape resort, mostly people just seeing what is available in case they decide to come down last minute. Read on if that's you. Trying to save you money here... if still want to be with us at CH1.

Caution: Please DON'T SHOW UP ON THE DAY of CH1 and expect to get an available room at the Seascape resort for our group discount; if any rooms are left here or even down the street. If you try this at the Seascape at the front desk, they will charge you full retail price. The tip here is you must go through group reservations using our group code to get the discount. As with any hotel people cancel/fill rooms up to 48 hours before any given weekend. Note: This is a higher end vacation resort facility on the ocean. We got the rooms for 40% off (during peak season). If you are looking for a vacation on the ocean with family and friends, and drive in the Cobras, this is IT! Don't wait and hear about it later.

UPDATE - 09/17/08
I just spoke with hotel, and they may offer last minute request for two night stays for anyone who just needs two nights instead of three. For those who need it, you might even ask for just one night and see what they say. These rooms are normally $335-385 a night and up. We get the DELUXE one bedroom suites for $200, which is less than low-end hotels down the street.

IMPORTANT:
If you are one of the last-minute folks who waited and didn't get a room or canceled and then decided you want to go now (we are hearing this) and need a room again, please follow these steps if you want the CH1/Western States Cobra Group discount. Be sure to do this before Tuesday September 23rd, or keep calling them back until they can get you in. They were full, then not full, now approaching full status again as we get closer.

STEPS for LAST MINUTE FOLKS:
1. Call Mariel at Seascape Resort at: (831) 684-4261
Tell them you are with CH1/Western States Cobra group for the discount rate. Try for the one room deluxe suite, which is the best value for the $.

2. Be prepared to fax in a form

3. Send an email to cobrasonhighway1@comcast.net to be added to the group website and discussion forum so you can see the schedule, and get emails about CH1. This is a private meetup website for attendees only.

People are getting excited as we draw closer. See You at CH1! DC
