Good morning, Arachnids. I hope that many of you plan to attend the IOLI convention next summer in Coralville, IA USA. The dates are July 27-August 2nd.
There has been some concern about the availability of queen bed hotel rooms expressed on Facebook. The problem seems to be with the hotel website which can be somewhat confusing. I think the following information will be helpful. Information about the 2015 Convention is available on the I.O.L.I. website. This is the same information that you will receive in the Winter issue of the Bulletin plus additional details which were not printed because of space limitations. For example, the hotel reservation website is quirky. So if you choose to make your reservation online instead of using the telephone, you need to know:Online Reservations:Reservations for our room block at the Coralville Marriott may be made online via this link http://goo.gl/KcWgAq . You will need to expand âRoom & Accessibility Preferencesâ to select your room type. The rate is the same for either 2 queen beds or 1 king bed. If you select the queen beds and hit Select, the next page âReview Reservation Detailsâ will show â2. Your Requestsâ asâRequest(s) Unavailableâ. You can ignore this. If our block is sold out you will instead get a red banner and will be unable to complete your reservation. Try contacting the hotel directly at 1-319-688-4000. Also note, the parking rate on their website reflects the general parking rate, not our negotiated rate of $5.00 per day.
