Is the Manchester Grand Hyatt Boycott Working? Plenty of Rooms Available This Busy Weekend Marriott Marina Hotel Next Door – SOLD OUT!

SAN DIEGO – In spite of the huge Comic – Con International Convention at the San Diego Convention Center 2 blocks away from Doug Manchester’s Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel his hotel is NOT SOLD OUT again this weekend. There are rooms available in every category.

But if you want a room at Manchester’s main competitor right next door the Marriott Marina Hotel, it is SOLD OUT. We found this out by going to Marriott’s on line reservation system and calling the hotel – SOLD OUT all weekend long.

Comic – Con International is one of San Diego’s biggest conventions. Last year over 125,000 people attended Comic –Con, making it the largest convention of it’s kind of the world and one of San Diego’s biggest conventions all year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic-Con_International Even more were expected this year.

There were many comic – con blogs going around this week urging their convention goers to avoid the Manchester Grand Hyatt since Californians Against Hate called for a Boycott of Doug Manchester’s Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel and his two other hotels the Grand del Mar in San Diego and the Whitetail Club and Resort in McCall, Idaho. Manchester gave $125,000.00 this year to the Protect Marriage campaign to take away the recently attained freedom to marry in California.
