I called at midnight last night and the Marriott said reservations would be taken at 8 a.m. Eastern Time this morning. So, at 7:58 a.m., I both called and started the reservation process online at the same time. I was able to get my room (double beds) online but not able to get another for my brother and his fiance. About that time, I was connected to the lady on the other end of the phone who revealed that the double-bed rooms had all sold out, but that rooms with king beds were going a little slower, so I snagged one of those as well for him.
But yes, the wait was tense and I'm sure they sold quickly.

Don't forget that your own "browncoat buddies"
also decide to place reservations for entire blocks of rooms (e.g. 15-20 rooms),
thereby fucking over the rest of us. ^__^
While those using the passkey system were limited to booking one room at a time (to try and prevent booking large blocks of rooms), certain people have made arrangements with staff members at the Marriott to bypass this, and are proudly telling all who'll listen about their block of 8 rooms (that they're unlikely to hold onto, due to wanting to stay in a diff hotel).
What's the cost of renting an apartment in the area for a week?

HUSG Nico.. do you really want to try and make your way back to an apartment at 4 am while drunk??
HUGS Rose... don't panic yet sweety. It's not full payment just one night at Hyatt and I have a feeling lots of people will have dropped their reservations right before so hopefully we will be able to get some:)
Ok so people suck and are being rude..
