Ok, Bill and I chatted about this last week.  We pondered on a few issues...

#1 The Best Western wasn't the fanciest place we had all ever stayed at, however the price was right, it had a decent breakfast and we convinced them to open the bar up for all you damn smokers (just kiddin)  Wink  It really was the onlyvplace to congregate together.

So the question here is...would everyone be interested in going back to the same place if I could get all of the above back on the table....OR

#2 Would you like for me to look into the Crowne Plaza across the street (convention hotel this year) for room rates?  They have the bar, which seems to have normal hours during the day (I think), open areas to smoke (bar), a restaurant inside (TGI's) and the hallways are a normal room temperature.

My only problem with Crowne Plaza is I would need a buddy to travel with me in the elevators at all times...just sayin!  Cheesy

SO...I hate to really open a can of worms on asking so many questions, but I know that some (not just us) were a little bummed with the hotel when we got there.

Let me know what everyone is thinking and I can start making calls. 

Thanks!!  Smiley

The rooms were fine and the place they let us hang out was great. The only problem was the hallways were not heated. I have never been to a place like that before.

But we will go wherever. It doesn't matter to us.

The Best Western DID have some cold flipping halls!!  BUT, the staff there was MUCH more receptive and helpful to our needs.  They bent over backwards to make our stay a good experience.  AND they were very reasonably priced!

The Crown Plaza does have an area for smoking, 24/7.  The halls are not freezing.  For MOST people, the elevators worked just fine .... (Heehee)  The down side of them is that they are quite a bit more money to stay there.  AND they try to nickle dime you to death for things that are normally free: $$$ for an in-room refrigerator ... $$$ for an in-room microwave ... $$$ for in-room internet.  BUT, the free shuttle service, within five miles, was pretty awesome, though.

Myself, I would think the lower price would be better.

I agree Chuckie (did I just agree with Chuck)?... halls were cold, hospitality was hot...

I think that if we let them know we're coming they would open up the bar area like they did this year...

Well Christine must have ESP with all you clusterheads because I got home for the gym today and she called.  She was doing a simple follow-up on our stay from January 2009, and we ended up booking the rooms for January while I was on the phone.

So she is supposed to be sending me an email confirmation of our room block by the end of the day with a group #.  As of now this is what we discussed for January...

  • Best Western Airport Plaza Inn
    4530 N Lindbergh Blvd.
    Bridgeton, MO 63044-2201
    (314) 731-3800

  • Thursday, January 14th - Sunday, January 17th

  • Room rate of $59.00

  • Bar to be OPEN at NOON Friday, Saturday AND Sunday


I will update the information as I get it, but it looks as though you all will be able to make room reservations by tomorrow morning!!!

Smiley  Steph

Round trip air fare is $323 ... I think I will hold off a bit to see if the price goes down ...

Maybe I will look into driving ... MapQuest says it is 14 hours 50 minutes ... 926 miles ... Hmmm ... Roughly guessing 25 MPG, and gas at $3.00 per gallon, that comes to $112.00 ...

I think I have a little bit of time, before I have to commit myself to method of getting there ...

brrrrrrrrrrrrr  Smiley  Missouri in Jan?  and I thought the halls in the hotel we were in were cold in the summer...  at least I could go outside to thaw.

Grin    my blood would slow to a crawl and most likely stop.
(but hmmm still so tempting to meet up again.)
