I called the DoubleTree to reserve a room and they said otherwise X.x

The site here hasn't been updated. Call the hotel and check.

I just checked using the online reservation system at the Doubletree and everytime I put in for a room that had the $119 rate it came up and said "Non-smoking rooms cannot be confirmed for the dates you have selected. Please proceed with a smoking room, or you can select alternative dates or a different hotel for the same dates." Th only $119 rate rooms they showed were either a single queen or single king room, it didn't show any of the 2 double bed rooms at all. It would let me reserve for the 1 queen 2 room suite for $169/night so it looks like they have some of those left. And for those with a little extra spending money you could go for the following (copied straight from the Doubletree site):

Room / Rate Information Edit
Room Description:

1KNG/2DBL 2BDRM STE NOSMOK

Rate Type:

ANTHROCON
Rate per Night (USD) 4999.99 Total For Stay

Taxes 3500.00
Total 28499.95

Total For Stay

28499.94 USD
Your total cost is estimated according to the tax information described below.

As much faith as I have in Giza's awesome PHP skillz, I highly doubt that the hotel status pages are updated by any automated method, since it's unlikely that the hotels would provide an interface for this. So, it's quite likely that there is/will be a delay between when the hotels fill up and when they're marked as such on this website.

I'm waiting until Uncle Kage (who has a job) has a chance to review the situation and
tell us what's what.

Thank you for your patience.

Every hotel has a certain number of rooms with 2 double beds and a certain number of rooms with a single king-sized bed. It so happens that the double-bed rooms are in greater demand than the others. As of today, all of the double-bed rooms in the Doubletree are reserved. The only rooms that are still available are the king-bed rooms.

Should those still looking to reserve a room look into other outlets ? -It'll be kinda awkward to have a room of four in a king bed-

I know that a lot of the attendees do 'floor' things but I'd rather set up a situation for those attending with me to have a comfortable experience I guess.

We have an obligation to the Doubletree to sell the remainding rooms. Once they are filled, we will look for another hotel nearby and try to arrange a convention rate with them for more double rooms.
