Group hotels & meeting space
Same hotels. Better deal.Plus the details nobody thinks to ask for.
Free hotel procurement and meeting space negotiation for any group booking 15 rooms or more, handled personally by Miss Renee, CMM, 25 years in. Free to you, always — the hotel pays the commission, and your rate goes down, not up.
The Details get you there. The relationship makes it happen.
Most people and companies fill out a form, take whatever rate comes back, and sign a contract nobody explained. The Details get you there — and because Miss Renee has spent 25 years building the relationships on the other end of the phone, your special requests actually happen.
Ten minutes now. A call from Miss Renee within one business day. No payment details, ever.
CMM, Owner of The Details — you talk to her, not a call center.
What Miss Renee gets written into the contract
- Complimentary rooms. One free room for every 40 or 50 booked is common. Use it for a speaker or your own staff.
- Waived resort fees. Resort fees can add $25 to $50 per room per night. They are negotiable for groups.
- Free parking. Often $20 to $40 a night per car, waived for a block.
- Discounted or complimentary meeting space. Rental is usually traded away once your room block and food spend are on the table.
- Discounted AV. In house AV is one of the most marked up lines on a contract.
- Staff rates. A lower rate for your team traveling in early or staying late.

Booking sites vs. The Details
A booking site sells you a room. We negotiate your contract.
| A booking site | The Details | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | One traveler, one room | Groups of 15 rooms or more, plus meeting space |
| What you get | A rate and a confirmation | A negotiated contract with the extras written in |
| Who does the work | You | Miss Renee |
| Contract review, attrition, cutoff, penalties | Not offered | Negotiated, and explained in plain English |
| Extras and special requests | A text box | Asked for by name, from a relationship, and put in the contract |
| Unique experiences | Whatever is listed | Private dining, discounted golf and spa, welcome receptions, local experiences |
| Relationship with the hotel | None | 25 years |
| After booking | An email | A person who answers the phone through the event |
| Cost to you | Free, they earn a commission | Free, the hotel pays a commission |
The fine print, in plain English
The three clauses that cost groups money
Attrition
The share of your room block you promise to fill. Miss it and the hotel bills you for the empty rooms.
Miss Renee negotiates the percentage down and builds the block from realistic numbers, not hopeful ones.
Cutoff date
The day unbooked rooms in your block go back to the hotel, usually 30 days out. After it, your rate is gone.
Miss Renee pushes the cutoff later and reminds you before it lands.
Cancellation terms
A sliding scale of what you owe if the event moves or stops, often a percentage of the whole block.
Miss Renee trades penalties for a rebooking clause whenever a hotel will do it.
Straight answers
What people ask before they call
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Hotels pay The Details a standard commission on the rooms your group uses, the same way they pay any group housing company. You never pay us.
Do I pay more so she can earn a commission?
No. Your rate is negotiated down, not marked up. Commission is a cost of sales hotels already budget for.
Can't I just book online?
You can book rooms online. You cannot negotiate a group contract online, and the contract is where the money and the risk are.
How do I know she's real?
Her name, face, credential, and phone number are on every page. She calls you within one business day.
We're small.
If you need 15 rooms or more, you qualify. Under 15, she will still point you the right way.
Same hotels. Better deal. Plus the details nobody else knows to ask for. Free to you, always.
