'Based on hotel availability in the room block' means that if by January 22nd there are still rooms available in the block of rooms that we have set aside, the hotel will honor the $245 rate; it also means that if the block of rooms that we have set aside sell out before January 22nd, then the hotel will take your booking at their prevailing rates.
