Re: 100th Anniversary Plans

["Jim Morris" <1005@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

While I agree that the meals and incidentals were way  overpriced and we 
were a captive audience with little other options for food,  etc., where else 
do they have banquet and meeting rooms large enough for 300  plus people?  I 
doubt if the Wyndham has the needed facilities.  I  believe Paul searched 
everywhere.  But we were pretty well stuck.  $22  a person for breakfast 
really sucked.

I too  prefer a hotel where there is in close promimity to alternate 
restaurants so  that those that don't want to spent the Marriott prices for meals 
and  incidentals aren't obliged to do so.

I agree  Dwayne,
I spend the night at Wyndham half a mile away.  Parking was  free, rooms 
much cheaper nice room, breakfast .

Lunch one the cheap at  the current hotel was $15.00 +/-, parking $15-20.00 
a day difficult to go out  and back with out addition charges.  Internet 
$15.00 a day?  Really  internet is now free in most places because it is so 
cheap.  The people  for the most part have been wonderful but there are too 
many charges beside  room rate.On May 25, 2016 9:00 PM, Dwayne Booth
