And the second room block goes to ...
So after a lot of searching and deliberation, we've decided to go with the Hampton Inn & Suites Historic District for our second room block. This was by far the best value, certainly the nicest accomodations in its range. The hotel gave us a great discount, and while it's not exactly in the center of town, it is still located at the edge of the beautiful historic disrict, and the hotel is brand new and gorgeous, as you can see from the picture I've included in this post. Some other places were more central, but offered prices that may have been slightly higher and comparably dumpy accomodations that couldn't even begin to compete with the classy Hampton Inn.
So here's the important information:
| Rate | Rack Rate | Khaw/Washburn Group Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Double Queen | $159.00 | $109.00 |
| King | $169.00 | $109.00 |
You can take a look at the website for more information. This rate applies to the nights of both February 16 and February 17 -- we've blocked off 20 rooms per night. To take advantage of this rate, reservations must be made by January 17, 2006. Cancellations also must happen by January 17, 2006. This hotel offers parking at $12 per day. Also, up to 5 people can stay in one room. If you want to make your reservation online, be sure that you use this group code: KWW. Or you can simply call (912) 721-1600 and mention that you're part of the Khaw/Washburn wedding reception group.
