i don't know how many rooms to block! i dont have any OOT guest but I have people that do not want to drive home that night!
I think most hotels will block up to 20 rooms.
Our hotel did blocks of 15. They have minimums. Some do 10 and some do 15.
i was going to do 15 but u have to garuntee 70% grrr so i'm afraid i wont get that
I blocked 20 rooms. I thought that would be enough and the hotel told me if is not they will add them on for me as needed.
I blocked 10 rooms for both Sat and Sun nights and only ONE person booked! I couldn't believe it!
My hotel would only block 10 -
i blocked 35 rooms because almost all of my guests aren't from LI and wanted to stay. so far i have 23 rooms reserved...
I blocked 60 ROOMS!! amazing....so far we have about 30 booked.....yes we have a ton of OOT guests!!
Our hotel only let us block 10 at a time but I did give them a rough estimate of how many rooms. Once more than like 7 rooms are booked, they will open up a new block. Good luck.
I started off with 10 and was concerned that i wouldn't meet the minimum (not all places have minimums). I ended up with over 30 nights booked. I had to increase my block several times and the hotel was really good about doing it for me. Start with the basics and check on it periodically. You can always go up!
I blocked the min..which is 10...if I need more we'll block more.
