Hi, I was wondering, when would I have to book the hotel by to get that rate?
Also, I notice Sandusky seems to be a bit difficult to get to. Google seems to suggest I should take a airplane to Cleaveland, and then take a 3am amtrack train (no reasonable time choices) from there to Sandusky. Is that really the best travel option? -- Brian On Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 5:01 PM Evans, Richard K.
