Hey rod181.  What hotel? The last i read you were staying at the Flagship.  If so that is close to the area they are setting up venders.

He changed to this hotel..

yeah cheaper so more money for toys lol

The Commodore:

Right on the beach (seawall), close enough to everything.  You can see your bike in the parking lot (from your room door).   

$149.00/night
Requires a check 30 days in advance (will not take a credit card).  Will accept credit card for second night.

Stayed there last year - but thinking..........what's a better place?


Todd

depends on what you want. They are now closing six blocks of from the Hotel Galvez to the Flagship! To me the traffic around the Flagship will be horrrible.

Are you looking for something that cost less than the commodore or is it $149 up front money that bothers you?

Here is where a lot of the folks seem to be staying http://www.texasxriders.com/index.php?topic=696.msg8105#new - darn good rates.

I have been looking at the Flagship which is built out over the Gulf.  However it cost twice what they are paying at the Beachcomber Inn.  I was quoted $79 for Wed & Thur and $89 for Fri for a room with a balcony.

Some of the folks are staying in rented beach houses.  Don't know the cost per person of these.  Guess it depends on how many folks are allowed to stay in the houses.

Well, I'm not thrilled with the price, especially since the place is getting a bit run down.  The location is great though - right on the sea wall.  The down payment check policy is ridiculous these days (everything's electronic).  I asked if they would accept guaranteed reservations, so they get their money regardless.  Nope, they want a check.

For what it's worth, A couple of weeks ago, I checked online for room rates at The Beachcomber and they were $139.
After reading this post, I called them direct and reserved two rooms for $39.00.

A day or two later I got to worrying about them not honoring my reservation when I show up so I called them and asked for written confirmation. She acted like I'd called her a bad name but she sent me a fax.

I feel better now.
