Hello Amy:

This year, I used Chrome, and it worked out just fine.

The Marriott must have made improvements to its website.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hello Curtis and all,

Thanks for posting this link here for us in making our hotel reservations for state convention.

As for using this site accessibility I tried it in google cromb last year and, it wasn’t accessible at all with jaws but, it was very accessible with Microsoft edge with jaws. Just a idea that’s all!

Thanks again and, I will talk to you all soon!

Sincerely,

Amy sabo

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=1715886544455&key=GRP&app=resvlink> https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1715886544455&key=GRP&app=resvlink
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
