Hi Annie,
Just checked with the hotel manager. I’m so sorry there are no other family rooms available. The hotel only has so many and we are using all of them.
Maybe you can get a cot or have ajoining rooms. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Robert,
Looking forward to seeing our Irish alumni soon. On the Accommodations page near the bottom I believe there is a place to request having a roommate.
The roommate orgainzer, Donna, will send you a file of others who are looking for roommates and you can contact them yourself. Donna will give you further details once you send in your roommate form.

Hi Dorinda,
We have had our last several retreats at this motel and I am not aware of any complaints from our aalumni. (L) It is an older motel that has made improvements over the last few years. One of our retreats they were building the IHOP which is on the premises. Management staff is very accommodating. Rooms have new mattress and there have been some other updates since our last retreat there in 2009.
Heart smiles,
Mary-Lee
