EF26 Estrel Rooms reservation

<< < (2/4) > >>

winterheart:
In the announcement about how to prepare this mail or booking a room, there was no mentioning of a credit card number field, prevous years we always had to provide our credit card nr, I assume this field still neds to be added as well or will the hotel staff ask for this information after they received your booking request?

ThatFlintVA:
Once the lottery has ended and the rooms have been distributed, when does the payment for your room need to be made?

Dragon:
Technical thought:

How will you guarantee all mails will get through to the Estrel? Pretty sure even with basic protection Exchange will start to refuse emails from e.g. @gmail.com if hundreds of them come in within a few seconds, which is very likely to happen. Or thousands of emails from mixed addresses within several seconds. Who tells us they will all go through? There's usually a 5-minute delay for a mail relay to try sending an email again if the receiving end refuses an email. This can be the death for many, when some send a mail 2 minutes late and they get through.

Eisfuchs:
It worked just fine last year, so I don't see why it should fail this year.

I think it was three years ago that the hotel decided they would just trust us.

You do not need a credit card for reservation.

When checking in you will either have to present a credit card, or you will have to pay up-front.

If you don't show up (and haven't cancelled before the deadline), they will mail you a bill. Part of the reason this works is that we have a very low number of no-shows at EF.

As this solves a major problem for a sizable chunk of our attendees, we are very happy the hotel makes that special exception for us.
