My friends appreciated the advice; everything was on-target. Thank you everyone who participated, including iceeu2. They had a printout of this thread.

Had they not had such a low price for the hotel, they would have chosen a place closer to the city. Nice hotel, so-so location.

There would be little need to start a second thread to discuss a topic already in the top 50 (as this was at the time). Would people respond if I started an unnecessary new thread? Probably. They always have answered my questions, and why not? I help others with their travel questions, do I not?

Most people here want travel info, iceeu2, not a continuation of our disagreement in other threads.
