Yesterday Carole and I did a road trip to Denver with a mission of finding lodging for the get-together and Kyle handed us an idea to check out closer. We again looked closely at Waverly due to its closeness to Do-It. The motel is right on the main drag in the downtown. Its call the Cobblestone and opened new in October of 2015. The rooms are very nice....clean and a full spread of amenities: refer, microwave and coffer maker in each room, either a king or pair of queen beds in each room. The motel has a main floor meeting room which comes without charge as long as a block of rooms has been set aside. There's a large parking area available. A continental breakfast is offered as well. There is no pool but then at the last shin dig nobody was carping about having a cold pool so not having one should not be an issue. There is a beer and wine bar right next to the front desk....gotta love this feature. And immediately out the door there are a couple dining places and a couple watering holes. Everything is pretty compact once the car is parked. AND, Kyle informs me that he lives only a couple blocks away so we could always move a rowdy party to his digs!

The rooms are $89.95/night.

Things are starting to shape up nicely for this event. I'll be scanning the brochure info into a document and can send anyone wishing to check the motel's info out beforehand can do so, I should have this done by this evening.

I tried my best to find a hotel without a pool.  The last thing we needed was ctom all liquored up on craft brews face down in a hot tub.

I called the Cobblestone Inn & Suites this AM and made a room block under Do-It Corp and was able to lock in a discounted rate of $84.99/night.
30 days Prior (December 18th) any rooms that have not been filled in the room block will be withdrawn from the block so make sure to call and reserve your room before then.  Also make sure you use the name Do-It Corp. to make sure you are included in the room block and get the discounted rate.

We are planning on hosting another night of food beverages on the night of Thursday the 19th at one of the local establishments downtown.  I also reserved the meeting conference room in the hotel that night.

Highly unprofessional.  And everyone knows Kyle gave up girls for a fishing pole a long time ago.

Just a reminder to everyone that is planning on or thinking about attending the get together this coming January. The hotel room block with the discounted rate is available until December 18th so this may be a good time to book a room before the holidays sneak up on everyone.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in January.
