Kengano --
Excuse the delay in responding to your question. I asked John Hagen, who
has handled our contracts with the hotels, to check on it for you. Since he
is not e-mail equipped, it took longer than anticipated. Plus, he was out
of town for a week.
OK, here's what I've been told. First, rooms are available at the Hudson
House EXCEPT for the first day of the convention. Second, the Hudson House
is the only one of the five hotels with a bar. The remaining hotels are the
new style lodging facility, usually with a restaurant attached or close by
-- but not operated by the hotel. Third, the Hudson House, Super 8 and the
Holiday Inn have pools. If you want the bar/pool combo for all of the
convention days, you might try the Holiday Inn St. Paul East (612-731-2220)
which is about ten miles away.
If this isn't sufficient information (and it doesn't seem to me it is) I'd
be willing to drive over to Hudson next weekend and get some more info.
Anything else I should check?

p.s. Some people have been told by the hotel staffs that the facilities are
fully booked. We understand that they are not and that one of the
following three phrases will allow you to reserve a room: "Triumph", "VTR",
or "John Hagen".

I understand the host hotel (Hudson House) is filled for Hudson
WI VTR
convention already. As I will be traveling (as always) with my three sons,
it would be nice to find a Holidome, or similar facility. Can someone from
the area advise me as to the closest motel with an indoor pool and the like.
We have always used the Holidome when going to TRF's summer party and it's
just to easy to dump the kids by the pool while Dad plays. Also, an in
house bar is essential. It's OK for Dad to order a pay per view movie and
then walk down the hall for a drink, but not OK to abandon the kids (ages
14, 12 and 10) while I carouse the local gin joints.
Thanks for your help.
