Important Details
Reservation Policy
All reservations must be accompanied by a non-refundable first-night room deposit, paid with a major credit card. Any reservation canceled completely will be charged one night’s deposit per room and tax.
Hotel Pirate Warning
It is not uncommon for unauthorized vendors to try to sell attendees hotel rooms. These vendors may claim to be representing The Precast Show, NPCA, PCI or CMHA, stating that the room block is “sold out” and that you must make a reservation with them immediately. Be careful and book your room directly with the hotel. These vendors often add fees that could substantially inflate your costs and also expose The Precast Show to penalties for not meeting its room block commitment.
