Greetings everyone:

 

I was able to make my convention room reservation online using the link
https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=171588654

with relative ease. The dates that are already filled in are Wednesday,
October 23 for checking in and Sunday, October 27 for checking out. You
might experience some difficulty changing these dates, but over-all, the
website has improved quite a bit since I last examined it.

 

Best wishes,

 

Curtis Chong
