OK, So I'd like to keep an open discussion regarding hotels.

Note prices are list based on a Saturday night.

Mammoth Mountain Inn:
List: 150/night
Parking: Reasonably large, 3 separate areas.
Lounge: Yes, nice
Bar: Yes
Pool: Small Outdoor
Restaurant: Yes
Overall feel: Very nice
Rating: 3 stars, 3.7 rating


Motel 6:
List: 125/night
Parking: Medium+, Wraps building
Lounge: No
Bar: No
Pool: Small Outdoor
Restaurant: No
Overall feel: Its a Motel 6
Rating: 2 stars, 3.4 rating


Quality In:
List: 139/night
Parking: Underground
Lounge:Yes
Bar: No
Pool: No
Restaurant: No
Overall Fee: Its a Quality Inn

These are the hotels that I feel could host our group. The quality inn possibly would be completely encompassed by our group but they have 59 rooms.

OK,

Just got a response back from the resort for pricing.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for following up. Below are the rates available for lodging. Rates apply to either dates. Once you decide on the location that works better for the group, we can further discuss meeting space at the appropriate property. That being said, we could always contract both properties and allow members of the group to choose between the two unless you are looking for everyone to stay at the same location. Let me know if you have any further questions.




Pricing looks OK, Good in fact if none of my other prices included the $20 resort fee or 14% tax..

His mentioning of "Contract both properties" scares me and makes me think he thinks we are going to sign a contract. This is not going to be the case and I will need to make that clear to him and why.

What are all your thoughts, the price is high... is that going to drive away people or is the area going to bring in people?

I havent tried to negotiate any pricing as I want to save that for after we get closer to actually booking rooms and if a little bit of time has passed.
