Hi, Ms. Muller. Thank you for going to so much extra trouble.

Clara Muller
[3:33 P.M.]
Hi! Mr. Hastings. You’re welcome.

Cumberland Hotel’s renovation project certainly comes at an inconvenient time for us!

Clara Muller
[3:35 P.M.]
Right! So I ’ve checked into other options to accommodate the participants of the upcoming conference.

Clara Muller
[3:35 P.M.]
Unfortunately, it is now quite late to find the best group rates since the conference is in less than two months.

Tim Hastings
[3:36 P.M.]
I think it will be best to book the most convenient hotel, so I am inclined to go with the option closest to the conference.

Clara Muller
[3:37 P.M.]
The Anderson Inn is right across the street from the conference center location and can offer us a reasonable group rate as we expected ($120 per night).

Clara Muller
[3:38 P.M.]
However, they can only guarantee us 30 rooms at that price; any participants over that number will have to pay the normal seasonal rate of $180.

Tim Hastings
[3:40 P.M.]
That’s expensive. We currently have about 40 registrations, so the majority of attendees will pay the same rate as they would have at the Cumberland.

Clara Muller
[3:41 P.M.]
The Bayview Lodge is only a little further away and can provide us with 50 rooms, but the price is much higher than either the Cumberland or the Anderson.

Tim Hastings
[3:43 P.M.]
Okay. What else?

Clara Muller
[3:45 P.M.]
The cheapest rate I could find was at the Whiteflower Hotel, but, as that is outside the central business district, we would have to cover the expense of providing shuttle service to the conference site.

Tim Hastings
[3:46 P.M.]
Please do not release this information until further notice. I think we need to be careful to inform everyone at the same time, so that the participants have the same chance to obtain rooms at the group rate.

Tim Hastings
[3:48 P.M.]
Thanks again, Ms. Muller! and I’m looking forward to seeing you at the conference.
