Hi all, as mentioned before, i was working on a group discount deal with Holiday Inn Anaheim. now i have the final booking information. firstly, here is the hotel and address: Holiday Inn and Suites Anaheim 1240 South Walnut Anaheim, CA 92802 http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/6c/1/en/hd/laxaw the regular rate of the hotel is US$71/night and the group discount rate is US$59/night for a standard room. to make a reservation with the discount, you need to do one of the following: - make a reservation by phone - call Griselda Vizcarra at +1 (714) 876-2604. if you mention the group BadmintonCentral, they will give you the discount. alternate number is (800) 824-5459 - make a reservation by email - email Megan Hassett at Meganh@dknhotels.com. if you mention the group BadmintonCentral, they will give you the discount. the discount is only valid between Mon 8/15 and Sunday 8/21. the cut-off date for the group discount is 8/1, you need to make your reservation by then. right now they have 10 rooms reserved for us.
argh! one more typo. the rate / night is US$59. sorry about that, i know i shouldn't be typing this at 4am in the morning after working 18 hours straight...
how far is the holiday inn from the venue? and will there be shuttles to the venue? airport shuttles? thanks
Hotel link Well, from the link above, there was no mention about airport shuttle or venue shuttle. I think the IBF WC sponsored hotel has them. However, with paying the taxis from Orange County Airport and to the Arrowhead Pond. I think staying at Holiday Inn will still be cheaper. According to the hotel info, OC Airport is 12 miles or 20 km away (taxis about US$30). Arrowhead Pond is about 4 miles or 6 km away.
I'm going. i have tickets. i dunno if im staying there tho. BTW when u say BC do you mean british columbia or badminton central?.,.
Not that i can come from India to the U.S for the WC,but i just want to know ,is this discount u are talking about for long time BC members or does it include newbies like me.
I do not believe there are any restriction. When I was talking to the hotel, they said if there were more reservation than the alloted rooms, they will just increase the allotment and keeps the same price.
i reserved a room @ the holiday inn from 8/18 - 8/22. great deal kwun for those days i'm willing to volunteer as a "shuttle" p) service between the hotel & venue. my vehicle can hold 3-4 add'l people. now accepting reservations...
$59 per room...that is very goog deal............ properly speak with my friend tomorrow........see how much it cost him to get a room..since we stay in a motel last time during the us open..it is only 3-5 mins away from the statium................. talking about playin badminton...it was my first time in fremont...saw Kwun play..and had game with him..lost badly..:crying:
Kwun, Thanks. Have decided to go to World Champs. Have put in my leave and order tickets ( I wanted to get the best tickets for position, so had to settle on the mini session package - section 208 row Q) . Now just working on airfare (looks like best price is AU$1609.00) and accomodation. Will there be a BF gathering? Regards Stuart
