you in a pool for roommate pairings.

gender and exact arrival and departure dates.

responsible for paying the single rate for any days you occupy the room alone.
If you
request a roommate, who is not booked by March 18th, we will automatically
place you in the Roommate Pairings pool.
NOTE: If you prefer to be at the Westin Diplomat,
and not an overflow venue, then you must designate a roommate as quickly as
possible. Only completed registrations
will be submitted to the hotel.
