[Chris L.]

Ok I just spoke with the Dodge house an they only have smoking rooms available and a few double bed rooms. I was not looking for a smoking room, So I called the La quinta.

The La quinta has no idea who we ( NAFA) are but I did speak to the manager and he will offer a discounted rate but needs someone from NAFA to sign a contact about the room block. I contacted Kevin Suedmeyer and left him a voice message telling him about this.

The La quinta is only 2 years old and has some nice amenities. I went ahead and booked a room anyway.

As I said they will give the discount but they need a representative from NAFA to contact the Manager.

Just wanted to give you all an update on the room status.... and I am bringing my own stripper

As long as you share!

How about a animal deposit there and are the birds allowed in the room?

Chris,

According to the NAFA website, the LaQuinta is supposed to be the first over-flow hotel, so that leads me to believe that arrangements have already been made. Mario called Kevin yesterday to ask about what we were told about pets, etc and we have still not hear anything.

From the NAFA Website:

Announcement from Kevin Suedmeyer - Meet Chairman

The meet headquarters will be the Dodge House located at 2408 West Wyatt Earp Drive. Contact number 620-225-9900. This wonderful facility has been remodeled, again, & will exceed your fantasy as a hunting palace. Reservations will not be accepted until noon – central time – June 1, 2010. This is fair for all. Additionally only one reservation will be taken per last name/credit card.

Not to worry – the next hotel we will overtake ; ) will be right next door – The LaQuinta Inn located at 2400 West Wyatt Earp Drive. Contact number 620-225-7373.

We will then proceed to take over the Holiday Inn Express located at 2320 West Wyatt Earp Drive. Contact number 620-227-5000.

Chris,

Exactly why I called the La quinta because NAFA web site mentioned this is next on the list..... Per the manger of the hotel " NAFA who???" " Falconers??"

He also said there had not been any paper work signed by any NAFA rep. Per the manager "No group rates unless paper work is signed"

Either way someone from NAFA needs to confirm this. I tried but I am not a NAFA officer. I have the managers name and number if a NAFA officer would like to PM me for his details. He said he will give us a discount on the rooms

I too called Kevin and left a message about what I was told.

Axel,

I didnt ask about keeping birds in the rooms. But I did find this

"Dogs of all sizes are allowed for no additional fee; there is a pet policy to sign at check-in. Dogs may not be left alone in the room, and they are not allowed in breakfast or pool areas."

Seems good to go.. ALso no fee..

Seems there is some miscommunication going on. Mario was also told that it is $5 per person per night for extra people in the room. We will have 4 people in our room, plus dogs and birds. I really hope these issues get worked out because we can't afford over $100 a night to stay at the Dodge House. And if we can't take birds in the room, that is gonna suck!!!!

Ouch.. yeah it can get expensive when you start to add on all the other charges.

Here are some reviews for each hotel for those who like to read what others have to say about the hotel

Hey Chris, thanks for all that info. The best part of the reviews was that they showed a Super 8 hotel at the bottom that wasn't too far from the other places. Much cheaper and Super 8 usually doesn't give a crap too much about animals in the rooms from what I understand.
