Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2006 Just wanted to let you guys know that we cancelled our reservations at Best Western. I checked out www.choicehotels.com and got a room (king size bed) at the Econolodge for $3l.79 a night versus $71.99 a night at Best Western. There is a drop down box on the web site for discounts, aarp, aaa, etc. Click on Internet user it will reduce the $37.00 rate to $31.00. Econolodge has most of the same amenities as Best Western. Continental breakfast, free high speed internet, etc. You can request a fridge, microwave, etc. Econologe also has a swimming pool. I am sure Econolodge is not as "uptown" as Best Western, but changing hotels saved us $l60.00 bucks, since we will be staying four nights. So... if any of you are still looking for a room, Best Western should have one or two available now, and Econolodge definitely has rooms.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 14, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted June 14, 2006 dtel and I are checked in at the Econolodge. I am posting this thread from our room. The hotel looked a little rough from the outside, but the rooms are clean and equipped with a fridge. I think this is one of the older hotels is Hope. Doesn't really matter to me, I will just be hanging my hat, showering and sleeping here. We will probably go grab a bite to eat and then see if the rest of the gang needs any help.

colterphoto1 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Doens't the Best Western have a nice pool for those hot afternoons? Are you guys using a hospitality room at the hotel or is all the listening taking place in other venues? I'm confused as to what and where stuff is going on, so keep on posting gang!

fini Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Michael, The equipment's set up at the Farmhouse, which is about halfway to the Goat Roper (nice place, butt without the GR's ambiance). This trip, folks are spread out between 3 motels, so hospitality room get-togethers are a bit impractical. We're at the Best Western, and they cleaned the carpets in our room this morning, and it's still damp...[:'(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Gregg, that's kinda disgusting- I'd demand a different room or refund and move on down the road. That is inexcusable lack of hospitality! So you guys aren't going to the Goat Roaper at all this year? Shame- that was some good eating and a nice room. Remember what it was panelled with? (pop quiz for 2005 attendees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
