the phone number (812) 342-8888 Courtyard by Marriot

The cut off date is May 29. So make your reservation by May 29 to recieve the Vintage HIWATT Convention discount!

I will not have the contract in front of me before May 9 so you may need to wait until atleast May 9 to make your reservation.

Spoke with a very nice person at the Courtyard just now. She couldn't find the group in her computer, but will verify the rate and get back to me. She did say; "Thank you Mr. Hiwatt" at the end of the call. We both got a chuckle out of that .

EDIT: Expect a call tomorrow, Dr.Hiwatt. My dates and their dates are off by one weekend and they want you to break the tie.

If La Quinta is confident they'll be open and operational by then, that'd be my preference.

the new La Quinta is now accepting reservations (http://www.lq.com).

"Web" rate, $90 per night. "AAA" rage, $81 per night. Plus taxes, etc.. Includes free continental breakfast.

I got a rate of 75.60 per night (even less on Thurs night). This is the one on Trabue Road, right?

Yeah, but you'll make up the difference in gas savings! Would have been a heck of a commute .
