Good grief! It only took three days, but as of this morning…

The AnimeIowa 2012 Room Block at the Coralville Marriott is FULL!

All of the Friday and Saturday night rooms have now been reserved. However, we do still have rooms available at the reduced AnimeIowa room rate for Thursday night and Sunday night. So if you’d like these nights, or if you’d like to ADD Thursday or Sunday to your existing reservation at our reduced rate, now is the best time to do that!

What does this sell out mean for those of you who still would like a room at the Coralville Marriott? You should sign up for the Hotel Room Waiting List! Full details and FAQs are HERE.
