The gang here in Texas is looking for a possible new venue to hold our Fall MeatUp, probably in October. As much as we all love the Rainbow Courts in Rockdale, we’re trying to find a place closer to Austin. The areas we’re looking at are in the actual Hill Country of Texas, with beautiful scenery all around. There’s also a bigger choice of quality BBQ places within easy driving distance, most maybe 30-45 minutes away from where we might stay. We’re looking strongly at locations such as, Wimberly, San Marcos, Boerne, Blanco etc.
One of the things we’re finding out is the cost of rooms is more expensive than something of comparable quality and has outdoor gathering areas, such as The Rainbow Courts have. We all agree that staying in a regular chain type of hotel with concrete parking lots isn’t as conducive for what we wanna do. It’s all about the group camaraderie and food.
I’d like to get everyone’s input who has been to one of our MeatUps, or had plans to go but couldn’t make it OR even if you might consider going, please let us know a few things…….What is your maximum dollars per night you’d want to, or would, spend for a room? $100., $150. $200., $250. ? or whatever your price is. Please let us know what the most is you’d be willing to pay. We’re not looking for expensive places or anything like that, just something that fits our needs.
Before answering, keep in mind there’s room tax on top of the nightly rate. Also please know that we’re gonna be looking at some fairly nice places, not a Motel 6 or Days Inn, etc. Remember, some of you might stay for 3 nights and some for 2 nights.
But whatever we choose, please know that it’ll be a fair price for what we get. Thanks for as many replies as I can get.
EDIT: We’re trying to make sure we find something that is affordable for the largest number of people.
