If you want to reserve more than 3 rooms, please send an email to Gena Matthews at gmatthews@mhca.com?Subject=Hotel Assistance (3+) - 2026 Seattle.

2)  RESERVATIONS IF ROOM BLOCK IS FULL

3)  CANCELLATIONS

If you need to cancel a room reservation, please send an email to Gena at gmatthews@mhca.com?Subject=Room Cancellation - 2026 Seattle rather than cancelling the room yourself with the hotel. The hotel will return all Cancelled rooms to their General Sales block, not to mhca's room block, thus these rooms will be unavailable to other mhca members trying to make reservations.  By letting Gena know about the cancellation, she can work with the hotel to make sure your cancelled room(s) are in our block and available to other members.
