Hi gang. Thanks to a call from Jerry and PMs from Cheryl today, I've learned that our beloved Comfort in is FULL, FULL, FULL! With the Des Moines reunion going on, we probably have to move quick on rooms. I called two additional hotels right on the strip in Oskaloosa today and I got some good info.
Here are two seemingly good choices. The Red Carpet has smaller beds but the price shows that. The America's Choice is more expensive, but the manager said that if I call him back with a number of guaranteed reservations, we can work a deal for 10 percent off. (This is not in place yet, so don't call and ask for it).
You can check them both out online... if either of these works for everyone, let me know and I will call back and nail down a better rate on the America's Choice place. Otherwise, the Red Carpet is ready to go. There are also other choices in Pella, etc., but these are right in town and both have plenty of rooms (for now)... bp
