FAQ

Group code for the event?
It is automatically handled by the booking link above.

I can’t book my room!
From time to time, as with all large bookings, a section of the room allocation gets booked up. Let us know if we already don’t know. Amanda will prioritize getting the more allocations for where we run out.

How many people can I have in my room?
The base pricing for a room is based on two people.

What floors will the room block be on?
As in the past, we try to get everyone wanting the “community section” in one spot. We have succeeded with relative success. We are shooting for the 1st floor. However, there are no guarantees because of previous bookings right before us or other events going on that weekend.

Can I book a specific room?
No promises, but Amanda Vetelino ([email protected]) is your Ally as always. She works with the Hotel in the weeks before the con to accommodate as many of your requests (ex. location on floor, proximity to other booked rooms; location away from the loud area) as possible. If she cannot do it, it cannot be done.

How long should I stay?
The default when booking for RKO Con is for Wednesday check-in and Sunday check-out (4 nights) via the “Quick Book” button. If you won’t be staying that long, you can change the length of your stay by using the “Edit Stay” feature. Minimum is Friday/Saturday night.

Is there a discounted rate?
We have worked hard to get con attendees the Guaranteed Lowest Rate. Other than military discounts, if hotel rates drop so will yours! This includes those of you using AAA! If you discover a cheaper rate, PLEASE hold off booking and make us aware so that (a) we can get a lower rate for the whole community and (b) RKO CON gets credit against our responsibility block (Help us – We have a large minimum to fill!)


HOTEL PARKING

During your stay, overnight self-parking with in/out privileges is available at the hotel for an additional fee. It is outdoor parking (not a garage). Last we heard, it was $20/day.
