There should be, although I think some types are gone. You can access the online reservation system here (http://2006.arisia.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=54).
There are plenty of rooms, especially the $99 Standard Queen. There are no rooms with two double beds. There may be a few rooms with one king bed and one fold-out couch, though.
Other than calling the hotel is there anyway to make sure that the room I got will ACTUALLY be available when I get there. I reserved back on 11/9, but have known other who had done the same and when they went to checking...sorry your room is not available
Was this last year, or a previous year? The hotel completely changed systems for last year, and we're trying to get a feel for how reliable the new system is.
I'm hearing reports that the hotel system may be reporting it's full when it's not. I will look into this and see what's going on, and report back here as soon as I know.
I was wrong about there being plenty of rooms. There are 15 rooms left (out of a block of 600), and for some reason the hotel's system is not letting people reserve them. We're trying to get them to fix this, and also trying to get them to add some more rooms to our block. I think this problem cropped up quite recently (like, after you posted your question) and I hope you were able to reserve a room before this hotel problem started. As I said, I'll post here when I find out more.

So more than enough time for the hotel to get it right.
