This is where we
stayed Thursday thru Monday morning - not our original hotel.
We had reservations at
the Sheraton downtown, which were booked last February and fully paid for
months back - for Tuesday thru Monday AM. About 45 minutes out of
Nashville, Glenda called them to check on our room - at which time they
said they cancelled the room for no-show on Tuesday night. We had
called weeks ago and told them due to trip plans, we were not going to
make it until Thursday - but we still wanted the room. We couldn't
adjust the timeframe or cancel nights without canceling the whole
reservation, which we didn't want to do. Anyway, they said no
problem, since we had already paid for all the nights months ago - they
would make a note in the reservation.
Long story short,
Glenda had the Reservations Mgr find us another hotel (since all in
Nashville have been booked for months) and after some haggling, Donna came
back with us a reservation at Opryland, where Cindy & Bob were staying.
