Kai, There are many rooms still available in the NANOG room block. The hotel is only sold out on the first day (Saturday, October 21). Due to that, I cannot increase the room block for that day. If you call the hotel directly, they will make other recommendations in the immediate area for lodging that night.

Is this just me, or is the room block really miniscule (read: <<400 rooms), already booked out, and the hotel is now trying to rip everyone off with their "$370/night plus all that extra tax we make for DC by jacking you real good" rate? Comments welcome.
