We have always had good luck with waitlists. Like yourself, we usually only need 1 or 2 nights as thats usually all we are staying being local. We have got WL during Christmas and Boardalk during Food and Wine multiple times..
Me too. We have reservations for HH in June but are trying to add a studio for the 2-5th....wish me luck. It seems that everyone wants to go to HH with us!!
