Which hotel is that? I can't believe what I'm hearing - that all these hotels are filling up a year in advance. I bet if they asked people to pay up front it would be a different stroy. Thing is you can book as many rooms as you want , just give a credit card as a guarrantee, and then be able to cancel it right up to the day before, or even on the day for some of them. People are just panic booking to ensure they don't miss out !
