Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson hotels
Greetings. I have a room at The Red Roof Inn on West Ina for $100.00 a night, very clean, and my car rental is $150.00 for the four days that I will be in Tucson. If you want a half way decent rate, you have to reserve early. You can`t wait till the last minute and you don`t have to reserve a room downtown. Very easy commute from the outskirts around Tucson. Oh, by the way... my airfare cost me $5.00! I used some of my miles! ;) Dave Hi All, I'm afraid I have to concur with Adam and David on the Tucson hotel/motel situation. Something about paying Manhattan prices for a roach and bed-bug infested room in an area you wouldn't walk at night unarmed rubs me the wrong way. There are many wonderful people that I would love to see there this year (and perhaps I still will), but I won't support hotel piracy. I see that a room at the Westward Look would run about $350 a night after fees and taxes. Split between two people, that's a better deal than staying solo anywhere downtown. It's still overpriced, but at least it's a nice place. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson hotels
I agree completely with Dave. I have a room at the Wyndham for 100/night and Sat night-Sun I will have a room at the Westward Look (220/night). But I booked in Sept! Rental truck from Denver for a week is 260. Not all that bad considering it is the grandaddy of all gem shows and you will see as many meteorites and enthusiasts you can handle in a week's time.

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson hotels
Hi Dave, I realize that it's advantageous to book Tucson (or any big show that stretches the limits of a city's accommodations) as far in advance as possible, but the show is not that high a priority for me, and I never know more than a few weeks ahead of time if I'll be able attend. Fact is I've never been the sort to make reservations for anything a year in advance just in case I might go. I don't entirely blame the hotels for jacking up the prices -- after all, someone is obviously desperate enough to pay them. Supply and demand. Not to mention that 10 months out of the year Tucson motels probably struggle to stay in business, so the Gem show subsidizes the rest of the year. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
