Anybody else having recurrent issues with the preferred hotel accommodation rates offered by the residency program already being full?
 
No problem yet with the hotels being full, but I am sure I will run into that down the road. I have more of a problem with the residencies suggesting only hotels in the $100-$150 range unless you want to stay in the next county.
 
Wow...didn't even think about that. I haven't made any reservations yet...going to wait until mid-November when I think all my invites have come in.

oh people - come on -
priceline.com is the best place for reservations. Just make sure you list at least a 3 star. I haven't done it yet for residency stuff, but have done it numerous times for vacations and save a ton of money. It works amazingly well.
 
Yes, I have used priceline before and have used them for some hotel and rental car stuff for my upcoming interviews. But be very careful, I just got burned by a program today that says they are now not interviewing on the date I had chosen. Unfortunately because I am leaving in the next couple of days for a rotation a thousand miles away I had already booked a hotel and rental car through priceline. By the way, anyone want a free night in the Wyndham around Thanksgiving?
