Room Requests

[iLoveEeyore2]

How do you submit a room request? It's been a while since I've actually requested a specific area. In the past I faxed the room controller. Should I call back and have them add it to the reservation or wait and fax the room controller? (Hope I can set up my printer to fax! I've always used the fax at work, but I am no longer there.)

Thanks

Room Requests should be made 4 days prior to arrival.

Figure your 4 days prior to arrival this way:

Thursday - Arrival day/check-in
Wednesday - 1 day prior
Tuesday - 2 days prior
Monday - 3 days prior
Sunday - 4 days prior

Faxing after 4 pm is usually best only because the morning Room Assigner is usually bogged down with checkouts and the evening Room Assigner is usually dealing with check-ins until 4 pm. Honestly though, if you are faxing it doesn't matter when you send it. If they are busy they will file it and the evening Room Assigner will get to it when they start blocking requests.


Hope this Helps!!

I would do both. I've never faxed but just asked for it when making the ressies or have called back and added it on. Plus when checking in if you don't like what they give you ask if anything else is available.

Rumor has it that more and more of the room assignors are just throwing the faxes into the round filing cabinet under thier desk. The volume became just overwhelming. I would add it to my reservation.

I agree. Add your requests to your reservation. Then they don't need to match up a piece of paper with your reservation.
