• Lowest group rates over the event dates with rate
    integrity checks
• More hotels to choose from, more rooms and more
    price points
• Travel agents can book for you after contacting
    our Marketing Director

The primary reason is to find a collective way to control
the increase in various hotels rates that we had been seeing
over the past few years and to make sure that the hotels were
putting aside enough hotels rooms for our participants at
reasonable rates. With this policy we have now had hotels
come back to us and grant us larger room blocks at the lower
group rate. This means that more people will be able to get
into the "good" hotels at a reasonable rate. We also adopted
this program so that we can prove hotel usage to the city,
thus lowering the cost of the facilities used and keeping the
entry fees more constant. It also allows us to secure space
years out so that we know we can host the MLK at a consistent
time of the year.

How do I know we are getting the best group rates:
MLK staff will routinely run rate integrity checks on the
event hotels for rooms over the event dates to make sure they
are offering the lowest group rates to our participants. (This
excludes employee, government, AAA and AARP rates) If you receive
a WRITTEN confirmation of a lower rate than we have published at
one of our event hotels, during the event dates, please forward
that information to us and we will take care of making sure you
receive the lower rate for the event blocked rooms.
