Cat Jam 2008 Reply #31 – July 30, 2007, 09:53:45 PM Ya know, we would be cool with camping too, as long as they have showers! We have at least 5 tents, and sleeping bags, even air mattresses..... camping is the bomb! Quote Selected

Cat Jam 2008 Reply #35 – July 30, 2007, 10:56:27 PM There are no real close campgrounds relative to the hotels. Closest may be around 20-25 miles away, with no direct way to get to the hotels from there. Believe me, I checked into this a few years ago upon request. There is no ultimate campground solution unfortunately.I have to check with Diane @ Angels about something, then I can get to finalizing the dates for 2008. Quote Selected
Cat Jam 2008 Reply #36 – July 30, 2007, 10:59:29 PM I wonder if the RRI would be apposed to people camping in the grass around the parking lot. If they are booked I'm sure they would take $20-$30 a night so we could sleep. Quote Selected

Cat Jam 2008 Reply #40 – July 31, 2007, 06:19:28 AM Quote from: Cougars 2 go;164694I heard that someone was very unhappy with Microtel so anyone with Microtel reviews may want to chime in.That would be us. Based on other's experience I think we just go a really bad room. Besides the fact of it's location (by the exit door/stairwell) it was dirty. Embedded filth. Everything from the carpet to the chair to the mattress, sheets, hell even the walls was stained with something. =/On the plus side, all the tables and floors and other hard surfaces seemed to be clean, but that was of little consolation at the time.If we could of found another hotel we would of just left without asking for a refund. And believe me we tried finding one. Even called a Banquet Hall thinking it was a hotel, lol. So yeah, won't be staying at Microtel next year. We are staying at the Hampton Inn next year for sures.

We are staying at the Hampton Inn next year for sures.We stayed at the RRI and it was...okay.:disappoin Maybe my standards are a bit too high, but even paying the higher price at the RRI, there were still stains in the carpet, a clean but generally comfort-lacking atmosphere, the beds were too soft for this goldy-locks and no coffee maker/hairdryer in the room {WTF!!!}, but seriously it was a place to bed down for the night. So you have to decide is a little luxury what will make your trip more pleasant or gas money so you can take some extra side trips more your goal? It's a choice every CatJammer must face!I do think it would be cool to rent out a campground for CatJam someday, somewhere where there are recreational facilities (fishing, boating, swimming). What if the picnic was sandwich trays and stuff that could be ordered from a local grocery store and picked up for the picnic, rather than a few people having to do all the work? When I was a kid, we used to camp at a nice place near Sandusky...Cat/Bird cruise to the Point would be fun!!! It may not be a reality in the next few years, but could be something we could think about for the future? Quote Selected
Cat Jam 2008 Reply #43 – August 01, 2007, 10:01:19 PM Some day I'll go, but when I do I am not going to that Angels thing. Don't get me wrong I love animals but I'm dangerously allergic to cats, but yet I drive one.. Quote Selected
Cat Jam 2008 Reply #44 – August 02, 2007, 02:35:35 PM Yeah I made sure not to touch any of the cats as I'm violently allergic. I still manged to catch a cold that manifested itself halfway back on Sunday and I've been in bed ever since :( Quote Selected
