Hotels

My wife's project manager lives here in Austin. Apparently when hotel rooms went on sale, a large number of entrepreneurial locals booked as many hotel rooms as possible and tried to resell them on Craigslist. Apparently the city council promptly passed a law that said "hotel resellers" had to be licensed and any hotel rooms held by unlicensed resellers must be forfeit. They didn't want Austin to get a reputation. This explains why my rooms was cheaper booking two weeks later and some of the phone calls I got from my hotel.

Anyway, I know some people have had hotel problems already. There are still rooms available at the Microtel Inn & Suites in Round Rock where I am staying.
