Important Note: No one from the host hotels or the MRAA will call you to solicit your hotel reservation. Any travel agencies or housing bureaus that indicate they are representing MRAA, Dealer Week or the hotels or affiliated or unaffiliated hotels are perpetrating a fraud and are looking to secure your credit card information. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to be for lower rates, however they may be illegitimate, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties or be completely nonrefundable. Please be sure to make reservations directly through the hotels BELOW. If you receive a phone call or email, DO NOT make your hotel reservations with them. Please be aware of and report any unauthorized solicitations to Sarah Korbel with MRAA at 763-333-2418 or sarah@mraa.com.
