  1. Ouch, didn't know you were going to do this. I have already made reservations at a hotel not listed here (Conde de Penalba).

  2. Jim, did you paid the full amount?. Sometimes they just charge you upon arrival and you might still cancelled with no penalty, check if I am not wrong. Maybe you still have time to take advantage of the special prices in this hotels. In another note, this hotel is right in the middle of everything that is going to happen during the symposium. :-)

    1. Hi Shiho,
      Hotels are already added. I was missing Suites Colonial and I just added it now. Take another look and let me know if you can see all locations. I also added a "RECOMMENDED" label next to the hotels names. :-)
