SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
This is the Omni's response to my inquiry email, I would need to know:
1. interest in the Omni.
2. If Trivago's price is valid.
3. Information to respond to this email that is, your travel schedules.
"Hello William,
Thank you so much for considering the Omni San Francisco Hotel for your upcoming guestroom block needs! We would be pleased to offer a discounted group rate for your 10+ guestroom needs arriving Thursday, March 23 – Monday, March 27th.
Can you please share with me the arrival and departure pattern for your guests? Currently for a four night stay over these dates the best rate to the public is $299. I believe I can secure a great rate for your group in the low $200’s, however I do need to know the group pattern first.
Looking forward to connecting with you more on your group needs!
Best,
Laura

Well done, Bill, although I'm planning on staying Wednesday to Sunday rather than Thursday to Monday.

I'd be interested in the Omni if my travel dates can be made to work...

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Yes sounds like Omni would work if the rates are good for Wed to Sun.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
We will arrive Thursday and leave Sunday.
Thanks, Bill.

Friday to Monday for us. But I will be with my buddy from DC 2014, Jean-Frédéric, so need a room with two double beds.
Let me know if that works for the Omni.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Nic, I sure they have double bed rooms. Thanks for responding.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Nic,
Maybe a room with a double bed and big bathtub would work??!!

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Any thoughts/developments on this? Are we still short on numbers for a group rate?

Sorry guys, they need 10 rooms to qualify for a discount and they won't budge. I tried.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I think we're up for 7 rooms is I count well.
Thanks for the effort Bill. Do we wait a little bit, or make reservation on our own?

Nic, let's wait a little bit more.
The rates for Wed-Sun at Omni are $350 per night right right now.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I guess they rethought their position overnight. Still higher than I got it on Hotwire.
Good Morning William,
I hope you are having a nice day.
Just below I have quoted rates listed for each of the needed reservations. These room rate quotes are all based on a Deluxe category room with a King sized bed. We do have rooms with two double beds, other upgraded room options, and packages that I could present as well if you were interested.
The night of 3/23 - $369+taxes
3/24 – 3/17 - $249+taxes/night
Please let me know if you have any questions at all or would like to move forward with securing the rooms.
Best Wishes

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
That is only $5 off their escape and save rate that is on the Omni website.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Bills,
I just looked back at hotwire. I think its crazy for this group to look at spending $250+USD +++ a night for a room. I'm happily booked into the Le Meridien for $155/night and the hotel is listed at their site for $350/night. I was unaware that you can request a group rate(and specify hotels/districts) and get quotes from the hotels. I've made this request on behalf of the group today and am awaiting responses from the hotels thru a hotwire coordinator. I've requested 7 rooms but we'll see what happens and I'll keep everyone posted.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Don't include me as I booked the Omni through Hotwire to see the hotel and the rate. I agree that the La Meridien is a great price and a nice hotel. Go for it.
I was surprised how ridiculous the price was.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I don't know what this search will bring. I've asked for 7 rooms as per Nics message above or was that including you William P? Are those numbers correct and how many will need a room for Wednesday as well? Just Jim and patrick or others? I'll update as I get responses over the next day or two.
Danny
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I've counted 7 including WilliamP, from what I've rad in that post.
The 6 others : Jimhow, blanquito, winona rider, stefan, jal and me.
Thanks Danny for trying group rate on Hotwire, I'll wait a little bit more. But I will make reservation this weekend at the latest.

So we're open for a last dinner on Sunday if anybody interested.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
My count has six couples and that is not including me. And I should not be included so six rooms is it for now.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Le Meridien has an AARP/senior rate of $268 that includes breakfast for two or $261 without breakfast.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I'm hoping to hear back from Le Meridien with their hotwire group rate and we'll see today or tomorrow.
Danny
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Hotwire Response a little weird but may be helpful. Somehow the hotwire planner allows you to see multple available hotels at their rates prior to receiving a response from the individual hotel. Le Meridien sent me a group rate of $259 +tx but on this hotwire link you can see the lowest King room rate at $216.14 with rooms going upwards. Fixed rates with advance payment but we don't have to block book a group of rooms at the $259 with the group rate and you can chose your own room.
Here is the link to book.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Danny, when I click the link you gave, the lowest rate is $254.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Stefan,
Are you looking from the 22nd or the 23rd? I'm still showing $216.14 for the King room with 8 rooms available at this rate. If I plug in from the 22nd it shows rooms starting at $248 but I'd do 2 separate bookings..23-26 at 216 and 22nd at 248. Let me know if there's a problem and I can contact the hotwire planner assigned to BWE.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
From the 23rd, which came from your link. I've done it on two different computers and got $254 both times as the lowest price. Maybe le Meridien likes Canucks more than Yanks.
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
I'll call tomorrow and see what's going on. This is bizzare. I click on the link and I still show the best rate at $216.14??
Danny
Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Nic,
When you click on the above Hotwire link from Canada what price do you show? Maybe we can start a Canadian conspiracy. Regardless Ill check tomorrow.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
Danny, I got 254 $usd + taxes on that link, for Le Meridien.
I went by cheapticket . Com and got the Omni for 178 $usd + taxes... I'm ok with that. So hotel reservation done.

Re: SF Convention: Response from the Omni. SF.
This hotel thang is getting a bit protracted... I just went to cheaptickets and they want $351/night for the Omni! Not sure how Nic got it so cheaply there (Canadians only?), but it seems that deal has come and gone...
