The Hotel gives us rooms as needed by those who call in to get their reservations under our group code. The issue becomes that it is first come first serve meaning if the Hotel sells all of their rooms out before you make your reservation then you will not be able to get a room under our group rate that includes a breakfast buffet the morning after each night you stay for up to 2 people per room.
I would highly suggest that even if you are on the fence whether to go or not reserve your room now as the Hotel gives you up to 24 hours before your reservation to cancel at no charge. So pick up your phone & register today to make sure you don't miss our group block price!!!!
•Hotel reservations can be made by calling 866-253-2182 and ask for the "great pumpkin commonwealth rate" or "PKP". You can also make your reservation online at the Holiday Inn site. Be sure to use the following information when you make your reservation:
Booking Link: Great Pumpkin Commonwealth Booking Code: PKP

With each day you reserve a room under the GPC code you get 2 hot breakfast buffets to get your day started.
With the full convention you will get a complete beverage service all day Saturday. At lunch Saturday make your own Dagwood sandwich with many sides & assorted deserts.
The awards show dinner is a premium dinner buffet with all the salad, sides, & 3 main entree's to choose from or have all 3 - NY strip steak, Chicken Cordon Bleu, & Mahi Mahi.
No one should go hungry with all these high end food options!!!!!
