Their deal this year is $124/night for two people including breakfast and lift tickets. http://www.restonhotelslc.com -- //-Walt // // The Volkl Conspiracy |

As they are reasonably known nationwide chains, you should be ok.
Once again I'll recommend www.homesteadvillage.com in Sugarhouse. Nice area. Good pub and food nearby. Freeway access. And let me know when you are here if you want to take a couple of runs (or more) or have a beer or 10. pigo "Wombat" wrote in message ...

There's one in Mid Valley at 5683 South Redwood Road but that seems a bit far. Although it appears it might be a straight shot off 215. There's one called The Crystal Inn over near that other homestead village. I'll keep my eye open for some others. |

(c: I hear water-skiing there is quite nice actually. Only "open" water in A-squared is the Urine, er, um, Huron River. The smell off that body of water was bad when I was at U-M in the 1950's. Can't imagine how bad it is now. My dad remembered boating on the Huron (that's rowboating) when he was in school there in the 1930's. |

Best price I could find in the area. I had a decent space with a useable kitchen area--stove with oven, full-sized fridge, pots, pans, dishes, etc. for just over $30 a night. It did lack a toaster, but nearby shopping center supplied one for under $10. I don't recall the ski area bus service being convenient to that Extended Stay, though. I drove to Salt Lake City, so that wasn't an issue for me. |

[...] -- Candlewood Suites I statyed at one of these in Ann Arbor MI last summer, and I didn't care much for the place. And I bet the skiing sucked too. (c: Is it better in the winter? I thought of you when we were dining in Ann Arbor last summer. We found a great new-ish restaurant off Main St. called Cafe Zola. Dinner was superb, we've eaten there twice (most recently during the thanksgiving vaca). The mussells and chorizo is highly recommended - I give it two heels way, way up - and the goat-cheese-stuffed salmon on artichoke ravioli totally r0cked as well. They told us that dinner is the time for fine dining - daytimes it's a cafe vibe. Hoping to finally tackle Mt. Holly or Mt. Trashmore sometime this year. I've been training for it. Fingers crossed. I've been looking forward to that trip report for nigh on two years now; here's hoping. OTOH, if you're in-state and conditions are not favorable, remember the mighty twin peaks of Caberfae are not but 3-4 hours away. (Think Whistler, only in 1:10 scale); The season runs longer there, and I might even be on-site to help you find your way to the gooCOUGHCOUGHCOUGH...(damn; I almost kept a straight face for that one). bw |

Can't imagine how bad it is now. My dad remembered boating on the Huron (that's rowboating) when he was in school there in the 1930's. Environmental regulations have made for much cleaner waterways over the last forty years. The Cuyahoga hasn't caught fire in recent memory, and the Huron is in pretty good shape, at least upstream of town. I kayak on it regularly whenever it's not [ob]ski season. But I bet it was pretty nasty in pre-Earth Day days. Of course, nobody waterskis on the Huron river itself, but there are at least 50 lakes big enough to waterski on within an hour's drive of A2. But that's probably true of any town in the state. -- // Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

Yes, for some values of "better". I thought of you when we were dining in Ann Arbor last summer. We found a great new-ish restaurant off Main St. called Cafe Zola. Dinner was superb, we've eaten there twice (most recently during the thanksgiving vaca).

They told us that dinner is the time for fine dining - daytimes it's a cafe vibe. I've never been there for dinner - always thought of it as a coffeehouse/brunch kind of place. I'll have to give it a try. Hoping to finally tackle Mt. Holly or Mt. Trashmore sometime this year. I've been training for it. Fingers crossed. Let me know when you're coming. That is if you don't chicken out this time. -- // Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |
