How come the hotels always sell out so fast? Why are the Days Inn and Holiday Inn always sold out before I can get a room there?
Because we have a huge number of people coming, we eat up most of Baltimore’s hotel space. And because the cheap seats always sell out first. The Days Inn and the Holiday Inn are generally the least expensive, and therefore they sell out first. As for why the hotels sell out so fast, a good part of that is because people book ahead of time, even before a rate is negotiated. We’re working on that situation, and hope to have hotel rates set by the time we announce the next year’s date.
