ROOM BLOCK STATUS UPDATES

Due to a greater level of response than expected with our original room block, we are requesting your patience as we work through assisting everyone. Please read below for additional info on the room block status.

  • Our room block launched on Wednesday, January 10th. Early nights sold out that day, and we added more rooms. During the next week, additional nights sold out, we added more rooms, and they sold out again.
  • Now, the block at the Hyatt is 98% full, and after lengthy discussions and negotiations, we learned the hotel itself is nearly sold out on Friday, July 12. This means there are no available rooms to add to our block.
  • Our room block is available until June 17, 2024. As we get closer to convention, there will likely be cancellations which will open up room availability.
  • For attendees who have booked a room, or multiple rooms “just in case”, we ask that you determine as soon as possible if you will attend, so that any available dates may be released for others who have been unable to book.
  • We have added room blocks at the Hyatt Place Phoenix/Downtownthe Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown, and the Renaissance Phoenix Downtownall of which are within 2 blocks of the Hyatt Regency. You can book a room using the buttons below.

NAVIGATING CURRENT ROOM BLOCK SITUATIONS

We have heard from some attendees about a few scenarios where some changes may need to be made to your personal reservation. Unfortunately, the WSA is not able to make changes on reservations made with personal credit cards.

Please review the situations below for possible solutions.

  • I was not able to reserve a room in the WSA block for convention at The Hyatt Regency Phoenix.
    • Option 1: Book a room at the Hyatt Place Phoenix/Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown, or Renaissance Phoenix Downtown.
    • Option 2: Join the wait list for the Hyatt Regency
    • Option 3: Wait a few months and see if a room opens.
    • Option 4: Book a room at the Hyatt Regency outside the room block, join the waitlist for the Hyatt Regency, and watch for notification via your email that cancellations have occurred to move your reservation into our block.
  • I have made a reservation for my desired dates, but was not able to secure the WSA group rate with any of my reservation.
    • This scenario most likely indicates your hotel reservation is not part of our room block due to sold out dates, and you received the prevailing rate. You have a few options.
      • Option 1: Reach out to the hotel to see if any rooms have opened up (for your specific dates). Upon availability, the hotel will be able to shift your rate so you are part of the WSA group rate.
      • Option 2: Join the wait list for the Hyatt Regency so we notify you if rooms in our block become available.
      • Option 3: Cancel your reservation at the Hyatt Regency and book at the Hyatt Place Phoenix/Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown, or Renaissance Phoenix Downtown.
  • I have made a reservation for my desired dates, but was not able to secure the WSA group rate on one (or multiple nights) in my reservation.
    • You have a few options.
      • Option 1: Reach out to the hotel to see if any rooms have opened up (for your specific dates). Upon availability, the hotel will be able to shift your rate so you are part of the WSA group rate.
      • Option 2: Join the wait list for the Hyatt Regency so we notify you if rooms in our block become available.
      • Option 3: Cancel your reservation at the Hyatt Regency and book at the Hyatt Place Phoenix/Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown, or Renaissance Phoenix Downtown.
  • I have made a reservation within the room block, but have been placed in a King bedroom for some of my stay, and was told I will need to switch rooms mid convention to a Double Queen room.
    • Per the Hyatt Regency, guests have a few options for this scenario:
      • Option 1: You can wait until you arrive at the hotel to which the staff at the Hyatt Regency will work to merge your rooms so you don’t have to shift during your stay.
      • Option 2: You can reach out to connect with The Hyatt to try and resolve this prior to your arrival.
      • Option 3: You can cancel your reservation at the Hyatt Regency and book at the Hyatt Place Phoenix/Downtown, Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Downtown, or Renaissance Phoenix Downtown.

If you’re facing a scenario we haven’t covered, please email convention@williams-syndrome.org, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.thank you enough for your understanding around the WSA working to ensure you and your families have solutions.
