[CQ-Contest] Hope Hotel reservation problems

[Jeff Clarke]

"I asked how many rooms had two beds and was told only 46 of 265 rooms do."


I think the Hope Hotel has so few double rooms because almost all of it's business is mostly military people traveling for business at WPAFB. I stayed at the Hope Hotel a couple years ago in a single queen room. They charge the same price for a single room then they do for a double room. I understand there is a high demand but I know of no other hotel that does this. I don't think the Crowne Plaza even did this.

BTW this isn't a criticism because I know K3LR had a challenge finding someplace big enough with conference rooms etc.. when they decided to move on from the Crowne Plaza. I good thing about the Hope Hotel is there is plenty of parking. Remember when the contesting activities were at the Crowne Plaza and it was hard to find a parking place in the garage on Saturday when you came back from the Hamvention because of the other events going on downtown?
