Greetings from Charlottesville, We have received a few email questions regarding hotel room bookings and we apologize for any confusion about the rooms. The initial rate quoted on the website for the Courtyard Marriott was a typo -- the lodging information at http://www.ogf.org/OGF37/lodging.php have been updated.

Furthermore, we have also been informed that the reservation links for the Courtyard Marriott's registration page was not working. We contacted the representatives at Courtyard Marriott and were told that this was due to the fact that the cutoff date for the discounted block of rooms was extended to February 20th 2013 and their system seems to have malfunctioned. They assure us that they will look into it and fix the links accordingly. We will keep you up to date with any further progress. For your reference, the cutoff dates for the discounted room blocks are as follows: * Courtyard Marriott: February 20th, 2013 * Hampton Inn: February 24th, 2013 * Red Roof Inn: February 25th, 2013 Please make arrangements accordingly. Thank you for making us aware of any problems and for your patience. We look forward to seeing you in Charlottesville in the Spring. Warm wishes, The OGF Event Team
