Oh, don't leave my strategic criteria out. 1 - Accessibility to
personal transportation - I prefer a low-rise motel type arrangement
where I don't have to walk through the casino to get to and from my car.

At first this was because I was nervous about being in public en femme
and has an "under the radar" aspect to it. Now it's about convienence
to the car. I hate to spend half my commute time walking from the room
to the car.

It also helps with my inability to resist the call of the slot machines.

2 - Economy - I'm on a pretty tight budget. I've stayed the Palace
Station and they send me discounts to come and stay again. Since I only
sleep, shower, store stuff and dress there, I don't need a real nice
facility. If the room is secure, clean, convienient and inexpensive,
I'm good to go. I really would like being closer to others for car
pooling or getting help, advice or a chance to visit during downtime.
But, I just have to keep within my spending limits.

I researched few hotels before DLV this year for an idea of cost and
proximity etc' in the interests of the price contious amongst us, (ME)!
and The Palace Station was one of the best prices out there, They sent
me a very reasonable schedule for their Garden Rooms IE:- Motel rooms,
running right up until very close to DLV time which were $29/night
weekdays, whereas most of the others had elevated their prices
considerably as May approached.

At that time our suggested hotels had already been decided upon so I
didn't forward the results to the group but for those who want an easy
access, safe, clean place to stay with free parking and 3 excelent
quality and very reasonable priced buffets, I think P/S has everything
there except proximity to events. There now. I've almost talked myself
into staying there next year.

Kate.
