[Ncep.list.grouptravel] Head's Up - American Meteorology Society (AMS) 100 Annual Meeting Hotels - January 12-16, 2020 Boston, MA

Fri Aug 16 15:52:10 UTC 2019

FYI, if you know someone who tried to reserve a room at the Westin Boston
Waterfront, it  might appear they do not have availability since the system
is down. On Monday it should be resolved.

For everyone that is pulling their hair out trying to make hotel
reservations that have been blocked for the 2020 AMS Boston.

I just spoke to Annie at AMS Meetings and she passed -

Many have learned that the computer system is broken and currently we are
unable to make reservations at the Westin Boston Waterfront.  If you
actually call the Westin Hotel Reservations - they are also unable to make
a "regular" without Gov't Rates or AMS rate reservation.  Kristen Coyne is
the person is that is in charge at AMS for this event -  is not in the
office at this time.  I managed to nail Annie down about when this problem
will be resolved.  She said not until Monday.  I asked for this in writing
and am waiting for an email.  In addition, she had also stated that should
it get resolved before then that she would send me an email with that
information.

Hope this eases a little anxiety about this matter.

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
