FYI

When I called to book my room last year, there were some problems with the reservations computer system. For some reason, I was put through to the Reservations Director. After he took my info, he told me the "group rate" would be $XXX.XX - about $20. LESS than what I knew the BLADE "group rate" to be! I asked him why that was and he replied: "Aren't you with"___ Group"?" I said , No, I was going to BLADE Show and he then revised the rate back up to the Blade "group rate". I asked him why the other group had a lower rate - did they have MORE rooms booked than Blade had requested? He said, No, in fact they had quite a smaller group. I asked him why they would then get a lower rate than we got and he laughed and replied: "I guess they had a better negotiator!"

I posted about this last year after Blade 2006. I don't care about a buck or two either way, but $20 a night less is quite nice, for three nights. I'm just wondering if we ARE getting the best rate at the Waverly?
 
Gus' goat mansion is a reasonable alternative (free), but is is booked solid. :D
Reservations are open for 2008 though.:p
 
Gus, thanks for the offer (and I do so love a good bowl of crispy Goat Chow in the morning!) but I am a solitary, lonesome, depressed individual and I prefer my own space. Even when I travel with my family, I would prefer my own room (now, if I could only convince my wife to let me do that...). However, in 2008 - when I am considering DRIVING down to Atlanta for the show, I think a personal visit to the Gomorrah of Goats may be in order.
:)
 
Stay across the street at the Sheraton Suites and save somewhere around $60 - $80 a night.
 
The only negative about the sheraton that I found was getting back to it after spending too much time in the "pit" at night after the show.:D
 
I am hoping to stay in the Waverly this year!! I don't drink, but I was at a hotel that was near the Waverly last year. I don't want to do that this year!!
