Hotel rate - it is what it is, if they're jerking you around I cannot fault you for looking elsewhere. You say that Jo McMahon sent you a contract back in January with the $79.99, then that is what it should be. Why won't they honor that now? (Or did you mean a verbal contract?) But we'll be paying whatever rate they decide on.

Summersville WV - yep been through there many times, great area as far as roads go as the forest (with roads like 39/55, 150, 20, 15) is close by to the East and US60 is nearby, as is WV16. Places like Paintbank VA (VA311) will be further away and possibly out of reach on a day ride. Also not sure about dual sport riding, which I know is big for some attendees. It is also well located for those who might trailer there, right on US19 which is a pretty major road and connects to nearby I-79. And of course it would be a bit closer to home for some of us, but further for some others.

PS Haven't booked my room yet, will report back what I'm told when I book it later this week.

OK, let me know. You can ignore my email then I guess. :)

" I left word for him to call me early this morning, and hadn't heard anything, so I called the hotel again, and he answered. When I told him my name, he acted like we had a poor connection, and hung up. I called right back, and the girl at the desk said he had "stepped out for a moment" I told her that was Bull, and please have him call me ASAP. My problem Rich, is that I try to be up front with everyone, and I refuse to try to work with someone who is deceitful! "


Syd I agree with all its not breaking anyone. I spoke with that Matt guy when I called in he seemed very sure that he had a contract with you for $89.99. He said the $79.99 was last years rate and that was that. Unfortunately with the personnel changes and the verbal between you and someone who isn't there any longer I think were fortunate to even get the $89.99 rate. I checked later in the day asking about pricing and I think they said $129.99 a night wowee. So Syd you're still saving us a ton of money nightly even at $89.99

Don't sweet it but a venue change might be in order. I'm like you, I don't like to be taken advantage of either but I just wouldn't let it upset me or you and I wouldn't spend much time stewing over it. It's a terrific event and a great bunch of riders.   Larry

Well, after much discussion yesterday and today, the new manager at the QI has graciously (Choke!!--Cough!!!) agreed to honor the price commitment his hotel made with us! The rate is $79.99, and the rates of those who have already registered will be adjusted accordingly. Part of me appreciates thefact that he folded, but I still mistrust him. I would not have had this problem if he'd been honest and straight forward to start with. Syd :D

RichGrab:
Thanks again Syd for the good work. I know what you mean - the old adage "Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." would apply here.
