Re: [802SEC] Rome decison
When I follow the link that Pat provided below, I find two things that
concern me:
1) Does this property really only have 563 rooms? I don't think that's
enough for an 802 plenary.
2) The "average price" quoted is $244 ... why did our survey indicate that
we'd be paying $425 (or was it $450)?
