Super 8.    Bob White is a last resort.

Thanks, I called Hampton and they said they didn't have their rates figured out yet so they couldn't book - Quality and Days Inn said they were booked.  I took what i could get.  I'm still going to look at Hampton when it's ready.  Thanks Doug

[birdsandbees]

Sounds like Hampton is ready to soak it to people. As it was Days Inn rates jumped between the time I logged into their site to see what rooms they had and 15 minutes later when I booked the room!

Any news as to when we can start registering for the reunion?

[RealWing]

Booked today at the Hampton. Rates are higher than Quality Inn but not out of sight

[Birdflu]

Rooms are booking fast! Quality Inn had only one smoking room left that covered all three nights so we ended up getting lucky at the Hampton!

Thanks, I just tried to book using the group code for the Marriot Fairfield and it came up "all rooms under this group are booked". I took the group code off and there was one double queen and one king bed room available that required payment in full and no ability to cancel for a refund after 24 hours. Hope I make it, I'm booked !!    (and the "non-group" rate was only 3 bucks more..)

[A383Wing]

I'm in at the Laquinta Inn......
