Security

We ( Local Prowler Owners )have decided to add our own security for the stay at the hotel. They do provide a secure area with barriers and video camera’s but with so many Kats and so many visitors to the area the local owners felt an increase presence would not hurt.

We are planning a raffle to pay for the additional expense for this service. So donations are welcome to assist in off setting this cost. Hint Hint.

We would also like to extend our welcome to anyone wishing to attend earlier activities in the Toronto Canada area during the week prior .
Please let us know if you are interested and we will be more then happy to plan events for us all to enjoy.

CJ and others, this is to cover the cost of them suppling their secure parking. We want to go beyond that, they will catch anyone around the Kats but may not Prevent someone from doing something.

Others who signed up to other Hotel need to make New arrangements at the Marriott Courtyard.

Tom, Santella, Meangene, Spoons, CT prowler, Gary C; Hack1320, Jerrywick, J.Wallis, Steven R.Gar. I tried to get this info from the threads on this trip so if I missed anyone sorry.

I will be making a list and up dating it once a week as we go forward. Hope this has helped everyone and sorry for the inconvenience but we feel this is a much better solution to the parking etc.

Please don't forget to let us know if you are interested in coming early to Toronto for a few days.

I just got the Computer set up here in Florida. Looks like the upgrades that CJ made with her reservations is a must!

Does anyone know where I can rent a Prowler in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo Area?

Brian King - Thanks for posting the info on the hotel while I was on the road to FL.

Checking with the Hotel but sounds like someone at their end made a mistake on the Price S/B $77 and $129 US approx. per night.

Having an issue with the hotel regarding upgraded rooms being applied to our contract. Right now they are saying we do not receive credit for those people upgrading, we signed a contract for 50 rooms per night of the 2 Queens. If we don't meet the contract numbers they say ( I ) will be responsible for the missed reservations. Only way is to have people book the Queens as per contract and hope they can upgrade at time of check in if rooms are available.

Boy try and figure that one out, here we are spending more money and they don't appreciate it.

I feel sorry for you buddy!
Few people realize just how much work goes on behind the scenes in planning an event this size or even the smaller ones.

I've done a few large events and have never had the kind of problems that you are encountering. My advice is to talk to the hotel management again and just state matter of factly that you will NOT be responsible for any rooms left unbooked. I would never put my personal guaranty on anything like what they are asking you to do. If you lose the hotel, try another one but putting yourself in debt due to this contract is foolish.
Hotels are in business to make money and they only way they do that is to have people book their rooms. If this hotel won't accept the pre-payments from the POA people attending as a stand alone contract, then find one that will. There are good hotels and helpful people working at them that will do whatever it takes to get their rooms booked. One consession that you may offer the hotel would be a higher rate in exchange for no contract. An extra $10.00 per day isn't going to keep the people away but may help your bargaining position with the hotel quite a bit. I have always been able to get a meeting or hospitality room at no charge when booking this amount of rooms and our hotels have always asked us to return again, normally telling me that they'll help us even more the next time.
It sounds to me like your situation will only get worse and maybe it's time to get more cooperation from the hotel or just pull the plug and let it flow over the falls.

Good luck Brian.
I hope it works out for you. If I can help out by getting references from some of our previous hotels, please let me know and I'll work on that.
