### Stop Press #### Red Rock Lodge Closes !!!!

[VXorado]

Another option...

I stayed at the stoop one last time and the guy there recommended the Rustic Inn as the most similar motel with slightly higher rates. I checked it out and liked several things about it more than the Lizard although there are certainly some questions.

PROS
It has a STOOP!
Nice rooms with kitchenettes
Group rate isn't bad
Even closer to downtown than the Red Rock Lodge
Clean

CONS
8 rooms available for May 2015- this includes 6 rooms with 2 queens but that's still limited
2nd level above rooms could restrict late night partying


This is a good option but is limited in rooms available. The group rate is $89 for the single queen (1 avail), $99 for the double queen (6 avail), little more for the suite (1 avail). For the price it's a great deal, especially if you split a double queen room. If we want to go this option, I need to know this week because I need to reserve the group. This reservation will hold the available rooms until April and give time for everyone to book. The only issue would be not having enough rooms for everyone unless people don't mind doubling up. I'm actually not sure how many rooms our group typically reserves for the meet.

Lizard looks a bit too down market IMO.

The security aspect alone would phase me...

I do like the look of the Rustic..I'd be in for that.
Great parking, kitchenettes is awesome

It may be that for this year we need to split between a few places...
...and reserve at the best one for all of us for 2016.



Sort of a transition year... we sneak up on'em for 2015...
.... take over for 2016

Count me in for the rustic as well. Looks like a decent little joint. I'd take the single queen so my nightly beer off gassing wouldn't injure anyone.

There is a reason it is a cheap as it is...I figured it would be sorta like the places I lived in during my college years, and that is indeed what it looks like. And I'm OK with that for the price. But I will bow to will of the majority.

Its more the security aspect that puts me off....
...not to mention lack of bathrooms, terrible wi-fi and cleanliness !!

I dont need luxury by any means .... "The Stoop" attests to that! ...
... but talking with Jon after he visited, he was doubtful many would like it.

A Clean room, bed and shower..
