Two friends of mine got a room at the JW. One can't go to the con anymore. I have a room a few miles away and am thinking of switching over to the JW to split the room.
Is there a way of doing that without incurring the 'one night' charge?
The room I'd be leaving is at the Candlewood Suites Indy Downtown Medical District if anyone wants to pick it up. Or split with a stranger at the JW if I don't switch...
The first question is whose badge is associated with the JW room. If it is the friend who can't go, and they cancel their badge, then the room reservation is lost, even if there is another name included in the room (e.g. for billing purposes). If this is the case, the other person in the JW will need to pay for the friend's badge, or else the friend will need to swallow the cost. In any event, the badge under which the room was assigned needs to stay "active".
As to switching, basically no. You could switch to a JW room when/if a room became available and you grabbed it in time, in which case you would just switch room assignments for no extra cost. However, even if you add your name to the JW room as an occupant, you will still be charged a one-night fee when you release your current reservation into the wild.
