Please note: Connections Housing is the ONLY official housing company associated with the Florida Restaurant Show. While other hotel resellers may contact you offering housing for your trip, they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the show, and entering into financial agreements with such companies can have costly consequences.

HOTEL RESERVATION ALERT:

If you booked your hotel room for the Florida Restaurant Show through any party other than a hotel itself or Connections Housing (the Show's official housing vendor which handles all housing requests made via  www.flrestaurantandlodgingshow.com, we ask that you immediately contact the hotel booked and confirm your reservation. Every year, we receive complaints of instances where hotel room resellers unaffiliated with our shows have taken payments from show attendees and exhibitors without actually booking the promised rooms (or, alternatively, that the resellers initially booked the rooms and then canceled them without notice and without refund to the customers). Don't be fooled by offers from other parties using the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show name - they are NOT affiliated with the Florida Restaurant Show. Remember, if the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. At the very least, prior to booking with a party other than Connections Housing, please check the prospective vendor's rating at  www.bbb.org.
