FAQs

A custom link to the hotel booking website will appear immediately after registration is complete on the confirmation page. This link will connect your HSS registration to your hotel reservation to give us the ability to easily track who has booked. Make sure to reserve your hotel room right after registering to avoid difficulty in accessing your custom hotel booking link later.

If you didn't book right after registration, see below.

You can find the right place to book your hotel in two ways:

  1. Confirmation Page
  2. Link in Email

Confirmation Page
Go to the confirmation page (click here) and click the hotel reservation button. If you can't access the page, you are likely logged out—you can login here. Once logged in, click the confirmation link above to go to the confirmation page. Click your custom room reservation button to book your room

Email Link
You will be sent an email shortly after registering to remind you to book your hotel room. This email has a magic link that will take you to your confirmation page—without logging in. Search for the email by looking for the email subject, "Don't Forget to Book Your Hotel". Click the link included in the email which will take you to the confirmation page. Once there, click the hotel reservation button to book your room.

We strongly recommend you book with our hotel partner for the following reasons:

Take Advantage of Special Rates
We worked with the hotel to get discounted rates for you. We negotiated special rates that include discounted rooms, resort fees, and parking fees. We negotiated rooms to $199 a night versus $239, the resort fees to $10 per night versus $35, and parking to $15 a day versus $32. 

Network Opportunities 
Don't you want to be where everyone will be staying? Networking is often said to be the biggest benefit of attending this conference. By staying onsite, you allow yourself more time to rub shoulders with other business owners that have valuable insights to help you grow.

Avoid Additional Travel Costs and Wasted Time
Remember you will incur added costs by renting a car and paying $32 a day (full price) for parking or getting a rideshare everyday. Not to mention you also waste a ton of time. Why not get a rideshare when you arrive and not have to worry about transportation again until the day you depart.

Save On Extra Fees
We charge a $200 fee (only to Five Star franchisees) if you book at a different hotel OR with a different booking link than the one we provide. We charge this fee because we have to guarantee a certain amount of rooms will be purchased or the hotel won't let us book the conference space. The $200 fee is to encourage you to book with the conference hotel to help us meet our guarantee. If we don't meet our obligation to the hotel, we have to cover the difference and will have to increase registration prices in future years—which we don't want to do.

See the FAQ on hotel booking for information on how to book with our hotel partner.

No. You must reserve your hotel room. We negotiated rates  with our partner hotel so your room, parking, and resort fees are heavily discounted. We strongly advise you to book with our hotel partner to take advantage of these rates. See additional benefits at the FAQ: "Why should I book with the conference hotel?"

If you are a franchisee or franchisor in home services, this event is for you.

Vendors who work with home service franchise brands are invited to exhibit or sponsor.

Most importantly this event is for franchisees of Five Star brands.

Yes. You can bring anyone from your team that you think could gain value from this event. Be sure to add them to your registration.

Additional people after the first registrant—whether an owner or employee—will have to have their own paid ticket to attend. We discounted the price of the second registrant $250 (only for Five Star franchisees) to encourage attendance. The third registrant and every registrant after that pay the same price as the first registrant. This discount may not be used to register someone from a different franchise location or brand than the one you own.

 

Tickets are on a per person basis. Additional registrants after the first registrant—whether an owner or employee—will have to have their own paid ticket to attend.
