Hey! Noticed that in the confirmation email the dates announced are all for Anime Boston 2024 as well as having the old banner. Dates in the actual reservation itself match up with AB2025, though.

In future years, would it be possible to have major announcements like a week or 2 in advance that the hotel block will open on X day at Y time? Otherwise it turns into an all hands on deck panic of OH **** hotel block is open GO GO GO GO GO, and hope you didn't find out too late. Which is needless panic for a lot of people, and we could just plan to be around when they open.

I am curious - my hotel reservation confirmation has a waitlist for 5/25 - Sunday - on a range of 5/22-5/26. Did it when the hotel first appeared. Curious if others are seeing a similar issue for the single day? It carried no notice of issue when selecting the date range.

Specific for me - the Hilton.

My friend and I saw that too. I don't know if it means we were able to book the rooms, or if we have to see if we get the reservation.

Just a followup - still awaiting the resolution of the waitlist portion of the hotel reservation. Any further news on this as the original timeframe from the reservation gatekeeper has passed. Thanks!

Reservations taken with a Sunday night room that were put on the waitlist unfortunately need to wait to see if a room opens for Sunday night; there is no guarantee or specific timing for a room that night. With how busy Boston is on Memorial Day Weekend, hotel room inventory is very limited. I'm sorry I don't have a clearer answer for you.

Thank you for the reply. It might be good to coordinate with the Paid Hotel Gateway Service AB is using to send a mass message out to everyone with an affected reservation as it told us to wait 2 weeks for an update & radio silence was all we received once it passed. Always good customer service to provide updates when you promise a time frame on an answer. Especially when time off at work is impacted by the uncertainty for some of us & could lead to no prereg or attendance.

I'd secure what you can as soon as possible. I found out Boston Calling is as going on that weekend. Hotels are gonna be packed.
