Geoff,

As far as I'm concerned, that's fine. We'll deal with it. Let's just end it. I've never really had a headache before in my life....but this may give me my first. I'll withdraw my original vote and stay put. I seldom stay in my room anyway. I'll just hangout in front of the hotel with you guys. Do ya think that'd be too shady???? Ha ha

FOR THE SMOKERS:

I just called the hotel directly (not the 800 #) and spoke with Mary who was very nice. She did confirm that as of 7/1 it IS a non smoking hotel, no matter when you made your reservations.

She said there is no outdoor patio, but there is no problem going outside to have a smoke...just not inside. She also said there are other facilities (restaurants, etc) in the immediate area,so you're not just isolated to outside the hotel with nowhere else to walk to).
