I don't know how many of you were lucky enough to get rooms at the Comfort Inn, but Lesa says the Democratic Convention is in Springfield that weekend and a lot of motels are full. She did book us for our rooms at the Days Inn in the main building. In case some of you have waited....you really need to get in someplace NOW!!!

HAHA...All I know is it's the Days Inn, and we're in the main building. I think the first time we went we stayed there...the outer building was not so great...so hoping the inside of the main building will be better!!!
If I can find out fromLesa, I'll send the phone number.

I sent her a text. I don't know if she thought to ask about a crafting area...you might want to do that, just in case. I'm waiting to hear back from her with the phone number.

I'm pretty sure this is the link to the one she called. I'd look at it to be sure it's the same number.

Oh, and Cindi,
I looked at the pix of this motel and there's a breakfast room...not sure how many chairs and tables, though....so, please ask if we can use it.
Thanks

I know! Do you know if the others have reservations at Comfort Inn? If so, who?
Please ask Tracey to do it ASAP...I know her DH is in hospital, so you might not want to push her???

You don't want to call?

I don't have a cc just debit card..and not enough $$ in my account for a r0oom, so I think tracey has to do it. right?

ccstampin12
04-02-2012, 06:13 PM
I'm not sure....I thought they were just holding the room with Lesa's cc and then when I check in I'll pay with mine.
I don't know how a debit card works.
Sorry I'm no help!

Just so you all know....Lesa reminded me and asked me to tell you that Days Inn is nothing like Comfort Inn as far as "nice" goes. I hope we won't think the tents would have been better!!! HA
I didn't see anything about a refrigerator in the rooms....sigh.

cindi
04-04-2012, 10:43 AM
Tracey did, they are not as nice as the comfort inn..said we could use it from 4-7 I think..I am hoping once we get there we can do better than that..I was starting to wonder if they had a suite or something...don't know. might be way too much $$. you kinow the rooms are too small for us to gather in
:)

ccstampin12
04-04-2012, 03:35 PM
That's true....I don't think this one has a suite, but they could. Just not sure everyone would want to pay extra.
We shall see. It seems that room is available when we would be eating dindin!!!

No problem for me! I'll be so happy to see everyone that I probably would stay in a tent, so 4 walls and a shower will be all I need! Besides, what a fun memory we'll all have!
