Called the hotel, they do not have the starcity group listed.

We checked with our contact at the hotel, and she said be sure when you call to press "1" for reservations and mention "Star City Games". If you remember when you called and/or who you spoke with, let me know and I will pass it on to her so it does not happen to another person. Thanks so much for letting us know!
