The Clarion is at the intersection of state road IN46 and I-65. There are 3 or 4 hotels in the same area. Goggle "hotels Columbus Indiana and you will see the 3 or 4 other hotels near the Clarion. If those don't work, there are others nearby. Barry

Seriously?! I think I will call back today and try again. When I asked the guy about the Jeep Reunion rate, he asked me if 'Jeep' was spelled with a 'J' or a 'G'. Bill

I had a similar problem a couple days ago. Had to spell everything out for her. Then she put me hold to check everything out with someone on the Willis Reunion rate. I think your not dealing with the hotel but a contracted reservation groupe.
Did finally get a reservation. There is a LaQunta just down the road to the west of the Hotel. |

Sorry to hear about the problems. I'm hoping you all enjoy the location, since it is about 15 minutes from me! I'll try to stop by and talk to the manager today.

I stopped by the hotel this morning and calls are getting transferred to an overload system when they are real busy. They are very sorry for the issues and if the operator is having issues, suggested calling back. I'm not sure how I would rate that on a customer service scale, but I can say the person I talked to knew all about the Reunion and was very sorry folks are having problems. Barry

No, but I didn't ask either. It is a big place. Since I didn't have any standing - I wasn't part of the organization - I just told the person about the posts and dropped off some brochures. Barry

The girl I talked to a week or two ago was nice as she could be, even made the comment that she "hoped she was working when we all got there, she loved Jeeps".
(she didn't ask how to spell it) |

I spoke with them to, and seems to me like the least knowledgable people are stuck at the desk. Jeff is right, yesterday there were 24 rooms available, so his 16 seems right.
I'm not sure why we go through this every year! |

Called back again yesterday. Girl told me there were 20 rooms available and before I could say anything else she transferred me to the reservation line. Once transferred, it was the same nonsense no rooms available and no group block under that name. Called the front desk again and got the manager. 19 rooms left and I am booked. Key apparently is to be very insistent to not get transferred to the reservation line.

Same story last night. Called and was transferred to some far way central reservation desk that had no clue about the reunion. Called back and asked if they could help locally. They took the reservation and did not transfer to the central reservation desk.

Happened to be in the area over the weekend so drove by the facility - and the lot is HUGE!
Should be plenty of room for everybody, and all their stuff. Getting excited.
