[Harp-L] Garden State

["Danny G" <dannyg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm glad that I brought it to everyones attention and even happier that the hotel responded by adding more rooms. Val said that the hotel was harmonica friendly, well the people who answer the phone are people friendly too. I couldn't find it last night when I made reservations so I called the hotel again today to give them my priority club membership number. They took care of it for me and I ended up getting a bunch of extra points. All is well. 
Don't know how many of you have a priority club membership but you ought to think about signing up if you don't. Every now and then it will get you a free night and it doesn't cost anything.
See you all in a few weeks

I'd like to reassure all of you that the block rate of rooms at the reduced rate of $109 plus tax is STILL AVAILABLE!? The Garden State Harmonica Club's arrangement with the hotel is that as the first block of rooms is booked, the hotel will add another block, as needed. Unfortunately, the hotel manager was on vacation and this wasn't passed on to the appropriate person!? I just spoke with the sales office and as of this moment 20 rooms per night were just added, including the night before (Nov.18). The best way to reserve your room is to either call the hotel directly at 201-288-9600 to be connected with SALES requesting the GSH (Garden State Harmonica) rate or 1-800-438-8687 (hotel's direct 800 number). The hotel is very "harmonica friendly" and the banquet manager? was actually the manager at another hotel for five years where we held our festivals a few years ago. Please contact me at www.gshcsunshine@xxxxxxx if there are any more glitches! I'm sure you will be very ple!
 ased with the rooms, as the hotel just finished a $7 million dollar renovation, including flat screen TV's and free wi-fi in every room and a 24 hour business and fitness center.



Danny, the first part of your statement is totally correct and it will be A GREAT BIG PARTY!? We're sorry that you were misinformed about the room rates and hopefully that is now corrected! We're looking forward to seeing you at the festival!
