We still need to get as many hotel reservations under the Austin Summerfest name as we can. Now, call only the local hotel telephone number at (512) 441-7900 and ask for the local reservation desk. Try to make a reservation at the Austin Summerfest rate of $89.00. If they won’t give it to you or you get transferred to the national reservations people and they tell you that no rooms are available, call Kees Talen at (512) 258-4282 and tell him about your problem in making a reservation. We still have a big interest in getting more reservations under our name and room rate. |
