This is bad news. I don't believe that motels should change their  
rate mid stream. They either give the rate for the duration, or they  
don't. Apparently this motel don't. This may come as a surprise to  
some people. but many of us have things going on in their lives and  
have to hold decisions for a longer time than they would like.  
Personally, I don't think that over two months before a festival is  
too late, and I also don't believe a motel should restrict rooms to a  
'block'.

I happen to have some outside events that I have to let run their  
course before I commit.

Yes, I can understand that a motel may want a guarantee for a minimum  
number of rooms, but why is there a maximum. I would think that the  
motel would be on board here to get as MANY people into this  
gathering as it would only be in their better interest. (food.bev.)

I have an offer to be somewhere else on that Fri, Sat, & Sun. I may  
just take that offer.
