* Reservations at the official host hotel, The Anaheim Marriott:
To reserve a sleeping room, or to check availability, at the Anaheim Marriott online, just click on the Marriott’s National American Miss group discount reservation link . The hotel inventory of sleeping rooms at the discount National American Miss group rate has sold out each year. Chances are that from time to time a given room type will sell out, however you may want to check back at a later time or day as rooms often come back into inventory from day to day. At some point the hotel will cut off the ability to book a room at the NAM discount rate. They are currently holding the rate open for as long as possible, as a courtesy to the group.
To reserve a sleeping room at the Anaheim Marriott by phone, call Marriott Passkey Reservations at 800-266-9432. Be sure to request the “National American Miss group rate,” or you will end up paying a much higher price for the same room.
