Note that they have a 4 night min stay.

It's starting to feel like that they're slowly returning stuff to inventory, but they're going to attach 4 night min stays to all of them (or at least charge a higher rate for non-4 night stays).

Interesting, that could explain the slower process this year. Was Intercontinental not a min stay hotel in the general release?

I imagine these min. stay clauses will make it harder for people to add missed days to their reservations.

It wasn't the policy last month. This is new.

Also the price is 305 per night not 329

I don't remember seeing the 4 days min before for Intercontinenal, so I think that's a new one.

Does suck for people looking to add on days, but at this point I think they're just trying to ensure that inventory does not go unused.

You know what else is weird, too? The "distance from the convention center" that the hotels have on their descriptions is off/not accurate. ???
For instance, it says the Hilton Gaslamp is .6 miles away.

Seems pretty accurate?  Though I was confused at first till I realized it was like the distance directly to the convention if you were a bird and could fly.

The Hilton Gaslamp is right across the street and on the hotel list originally provided by OnPeak it was listed as being .2 miles away. It's no big deal....I was just noticing that the distances listed now are different from the original list.

That was noticed last year as well.  They didn't fix it, of course.

Google maps say 0.6 for driving, 0.3 for walking. I guess they just use driving distance for all the hotels listed.

Oh, I dont know about all of them but at least some of those were more accurate.  That seems like a recent glitch.  But yeah hard Rock used to show like .1 or .2.

I’m pretty sure the Intercontinental has always had a lower 4 night min stay rate.
