We have been negotiating with Country Inn & Suites, 400 River Place in Menona, WI. We have the best deal we have ever had, which speaks well to how they view us as customers.  Cool

We have reserved a block of 10 rooms, each with 2 queen beds for both Friday and Saturday nights, for only $92 per night. This offer is good until all 10 rooms are booked for both nights. To get the deal, you must call them at 608-221-0055 and give them our QJ code, “2003QuietJ”. Our group name is ‘QuietJourney’. After you book, please post here. Also, if you have any difficulty with booking, please let me know. This offer expires on February 12, 2020. So don’t wait too long. Cool

I’m sure some of you may be able to find cheaper accommodations, but let me remind you that this rate includes their free cooked breakfast, Internet, and you don’t need to drive around in unpredictable weather.

There’s another incentive to stay at CI&S. If we can fill all 10 rooms, we will get a significant discount on the meeting room that we have all come to appreciate and enjoy.  Cool This will keep expenses at an affordable level. If, by chance, you have already booked, cancel and rebook with us. Cool

Please wait until tomorrow to call them to give them a chance to get this in their system. Wink

For comparison purposes, last years Copia rate was $115 per night. Our rate is $23 night cheaper. Cool

It’s a good number. Try clicking on it or try again later. Monday morning is typically busy for hotels. Sorry for your trouble. Wink

I just made my reservation for Snowdog and myself by clicking on the number in my previous post. Cool  Wink

Are you and Jimbo sharing a room or is it for just you?

As a point of clarification, if you are sharing a room with other QJ members, it is helpful to tracking our numbers to know that. Thank you!  Cool

Thanks MP, I have you and Jimbo sharing a room.

Another clarification, the $92 per night rate is guaranteed, regardless of how many rooms we book. Also, the block is only 10 rooms, first come. They need to be booked both nights. If you are only staying one night, you might be able to find someone to take the other night by posting here. Each room can be booked for up to four people.

We will get a 50% discount on the meeting room if we fill all 10 rooms both nights. This will keep total costs very reasonable. We hope you will agree and we’ll see you in  CoolMadtown!

Another note, daylight saving time will occur the previous weekend.  Cool

Old Salt,

Thanks for setting up the Room Discount for 2020 Copia at the Country Inn & Suites Menona, WI.

I just booked a room for 2 nights March 13th and 14th @ $92 per night.

The booking with discount went without a hitch. The hotel agent knew about our QJ  block of rooms and meeting room arrangement.
