Please Take Note:

When booking with the Sheraton or other overflow hotels, note that the default reservation dates may be set from Monday, January 22, to Thursday, January 25. If you do not require accommodation for Monday, please adjust your check-in and check-out dates accordingly. Availability for Monday, January 22, is limited, so if you encounter a 'sold out' notice for Monday through Thursday, but that may mean only Monday has sold out so try booking for Tuesday to Thursday instead. Please be aware that room availability for Wednesday, January 23, also fills up rapidly.
