base428 1 #1 August 31, 2005 Just a quick reminder to registered Bridge Day jumpers that hotel rooms at the Holiday Inn and Quality Inn are up for grabs tomorrow morning (September 1st) at 07:00 AM Eastern Standard Time (-5:00 GMT). Rooms are first-come, first-served and they normally sell out in 1-2 hours (the Holiday Inn always sells out first, since that's where all the action is). If you are registered to jump, you can call either hotel and attempt to secure a room. We've got 100 rooms at the Holiday Inn and 60 at the Quality Inn, so you've got a pretty good chance of not having to sleep in your car. Don't call before 7:00am and don't call if you aren't a registered jumper. One room per registered jumper, please. Happy dialing......cya.

eb66to77 0 #9 August 31, 2005 Jason, I know it is pretty clear with the four different ways you put the time but Eastern Time Zone is minus five hours(-5:00) from GMT. Just a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base428 1 #10 August 31, 2005 Yep, it's -5 rather than +5. Nice catch, thanks. Original post was updated. Cya.

NickDG 23 #12 August 31, 2005 My bill from last year, I checked in Thursday and checked out Sunday, and including the person ( I know who you are, LOL) who ordered up the porno film while partying in my room, was $479.25. NickD BASE 194 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base428 1 #13 August 31, 2005 From the Bridge Day website: Holiday Inn ------------- October 13: Rooms are $80.00 + tax per night based on single or double occupancy, available as needed. Third and fourth person charges of $10.00 per night, per person plus tax will apply. October 14-15: Rooms are $132.00 + tax per night based on single to quad occupancy. There is a two-night minimum for Friday and Saturday (no Saturday checkouts will be permitted). October 16: Rooms are $80.00 + tax per night based on single or double occupancy, available as needed. Third and fourth person charges of $10.00 per night, per person plus tax will apply. Quality Inn -------------- October 13: Rooms are $64.00 + tax. October 14-15: Rooms are $150.00 + tax. There is a two-night minimum for these two days. Another option is a special package for $350.00 + tax that gives you motel rooms for both nights (based on double occupancy), Taste of Bridge Day reception, Bridge Day T-shirts, prime rib buffet, and deluxe continental breakfast. October 16: Rooms are $64.00 + tax. If anyone still thinks it's cheap to live in WV, they just bumped the hotel tax up to 11% (approx.). and they are proposing to raise it to 15% soon. Last week, I drove from WV to NYC and the highest gas price along the way was in my hometown (Bridgeport, WV). Time to get out my bicycle. QuoteAny idea on what the rooms are going for?

TomAiello 26 #14 September 1, 2005 Hey, If anyone gets through on the phone, and find out that rooms are definitely sold out, can you post in this thread? People still trying will doubtless find it helpful to know when the rooms are gone, so they can stop playing the redial game.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piercewhat 0 #19 September 1, 2005 I had 3 phones going since 7:15am. All I got was a busy signal and hung up on 4 times. I think I might just pitch a tent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bert_man 0 #21 September 1, 2005 i had 2 phones going since 6:58 (i was planning on asking directions for two minutes before reserving, if I got through I must have gotten hung up on at least 10, maybe 15 times. More accurately, they simply didn't answer the ringing until my phone hung up. My shitty cell phone also lost signal at about 7:30 right after I heard a voice pick up.

dmcoco84 5 #22 September 1, 2005 7:55 HI sold out. My dad and I got a room at the Quality Inn. Not sure if they are sold out or not. Did anyone have issues with the Holiday Inn phone? I got through like 10 times and got cut off before they said anything. Calling from land line and cell phone. I was pissed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bert_man 0 #23 September 1, 2005 Quote I got through like 10 times and got cut off before they said anything. Calling from land line and cell phone. I was pissed! Yep, happened many times, probably to everybody. I guess they just couldnt answer every line at the same time, so you had to get through just as someone else was hanging up, or in my case, getting disconnected due to a shitty cell phone.-Ghetto "The reason death cannot frighten me, is because life has cured me of fear."

Brandoliem 0 #24 September 1, 2005 9:00am... Holiday Inn is sold out... i'm lucky #40 on the waiting list. Quality Inn has another 30 rooms left. Its $350 total for both Friday and Saturday nights (Thurs., Sun., etc. are $69/night). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base428 1 #25 September 1, 2005 Do NOT feel like you have to purchase that $350 package deal. It's $150 a night Friday and Saturday if you don't want the package deal. At least that's what I have in writing. So if they are forcing you to buy the package, they are INCORRECT. I just left an angry message with the manager at Quality Inn about this.
