not really. Is there another magic trick cause I keep failing to book.
They play Ring around the Rosie.
Either I get routed directly to their national chain headquarters as
soon as I mention "book a room". Or they transfer me to their sales
office because "they cannot book the special group rates". And at the
sales office I either hit the voice mail because nobody is there or if I
hit a human he tells me a.) I'm wrong there as he doesn't do room
bookings but he'll help me out b.) The special rate is sold out but
he'll helpfully send me to the voice mail of the sales rep handling that
deal who "will be back next morning". No, I didn't speak on the voice
mail as that never works out with international numbers. And I kept
missing their magical "next morning" they were talking about as the job
kept me freaking busy the last 2 weeks.

So it looks like I'll have to sleep under a bridge.
