IMPORTANT NOTES

 ***Do not call the special reservation number (or the hotel direct line -
or the toll free reservation line) or attempt to get an on-line reservation
before 9 AM EDT Monday, June 20, 2011 - as you will be told to call back and
any online attempts will not be honored with a valid confirmation number
before 9 AM EDT. 

The telephone operator on this special Hamvention number will not put anyone
on hold (prior to 9 AM) and the front desk will not forward you before or
after 9 AM. 937-229-9852 is the only number valid for telephone reservations
for Hamvention week 2012 and only after 9 AM EDT on Monday June 20, 2011.
You can reserve a maximum of 2 rooms per person - please do not try to
reserve (capture) more than 2 rooms - same two room limit applies online and
by telephone.

 

If you call the special number and get the voicemail box - DO NOT leave a
message - they cannot call you back. Call back. You must talk to a live
operator to make a reservation. A live operator will answer the special
phone and put you on hold and in queue for the reservation agents. PLEASE BE
patient! This system works - but we all have to understand that the pile up
will be huge. Please be PATIENT with the hotel staff as they get you signed
up as quickly as possible.

There are no club floor rooms available. Single or double bed rooms are the
