To my fellow procrastinators....I had reserved a room back in March after the $79 rate was exhausted for $139. I've been watching the post here as member after member got their rates lowered but I procrastinated until today however Kathrine at the other end of the 800 number was more than happy to lower my rate to the $79.
Thanks to all who have made this possible; it's going to a lot of fun.
I procrastinated (didn't know my calendar would be open so that's my excuse) but tonight I nevertheless got three nights at the Travelodge (2050 B Market St) for a total of $149.97 (add NV and Reno taxes to that). According to MS S&T it's only 0.9 miles to the Hilton...an easy walk (stumble)...as long as the local street are safe and not rampant with pimps and hos. Besides, Travelodge offers a Bear Bites continental breakfast which I'm sure
Cheapest rate was directly from www.travelodge.com, cheaper than www.triprewards.com (~$20 more, of which Travelodge is a member) and www.hotels.com (~$20 more).
