The Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa is proud to be the Official Host Hotel of the 17th Anniversary African American Ball.   A special discount rate of $89 per night is being offered to all guests attending this year’s event.   This is a per-room rate, based on double occupancy and does not include tax and gratuity.

1.       Call (Toll-free) 1.800.228.9290.   When a guest services representative comes on the line, you must request the 2010 African American Ball Group Rate before you place your reservation to take advantage of the $89 special discount rate; or

All individual reservations must be received by the cutoff date, Friday, February 12, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST in order to guarantee the special discount room rate of $89 per night.     This special rate is valid 2 days prior to and after the function.   Reservations placed after the cutoff date will be taken on a “space and availability” basis. 

 

The hotel check-in time is 4:00 p.m.  Check-in prior to the hotel’s check-in time is subject to availability.  Room assignment prior to that time is also on an availability basis.  Upon check-in, guests will be asked to verify their departure date.   At that time, your scheduled departure date can be altered.   Changes made thereafter will be subject to a $50 administrative fee.  Departure extensions are based on availability.

 

The hotel checkout time is 12:00 noon.  Any deviation must be communicated through the front office.  Confirmation of late checkout is based on expected occupancy for that day.

 

No particular room, room type, location of room or section of the hotel can be guaranteed.

 

In the event of a particular room type being depleted, the next most suitable room will be assigned.

 

In the event of an emergency, room reservations need to be canceled by 6:00 p.m. EST, on the day of your scheduled arrival to avoid a one-night room and tax charge.
