Where to Stay?
Jan 24 2008, 4:26 PM EST
I was thinking about hotels on the way home. The In-Towner is the most obvious, no? People COULD walk I guess but I don't think they will. So why settle for the In-Towner and the crappy location (not too many restaurants, busy streets, etc.)? What if we looked way out on Demming way in Middleton in that weird hotel, commercial district? It's not where I'd go for a vacation but there you have hotels, restaurants,bars and shopping all in one area. So folks would be more likely to run into each other without actually having to a)make plans with like 40 people or b)be confined to the hotel restaurant. If people are going to drive anyway, why not? It's a straight shot down University. Thoughts? Do you find this valuable?

Sounds reasonable to me. One restriction I thought of is that we need to look at hotels on the approved list for State of WIsconsin lodging. I plugged Middleton into the search engine at http://vendornet.state.wi.us/vendornet/travel/LodgingInfo.asp and there were 3 hits. The first one has a one-week cancellation policy, so I'd skip that one. The Fairfield and the Marriott are generally nice hotels. Are they in the area you were thinking of?Do you find this valuable? |

Marlys:Yes, both of those are in the area I was talking about. Anything on Greenway or on the adjoining roads. I guess that's the area I meant, Greenway Station, I think it's called. I stayed at the Fairfield on a APT package and it was very nice. Do you find this valuable? |
