We have secured a block of fifteen rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in Montrose for June 23, 24, 25 (check out June 26). They will not hold an initial block of more than fifteen rooms but if we take them all they will add rooms at the same daily rate, if they are available. Since June/July is the high season here I suggest that you make your reservations as soon as you can. If we get very far down the road and try to add rooms to the block we may find that none are available.We have five non-smoking King and ten non-smoking two Queen rooms in the initial block and they will provide a marked, dedicated parking area for our group. They also provide a hot breakfast and limited shuttle service to/from the airport and local restaurants and there are plenty of areas in the hotel where we can gather in the evenings.
RATE: The rate for either room is $99.00 plus taxes which will bring the total to around $108.00/night. Edit of 10-21-15: Terry reports that he was able to save $10/day by making his reservation online. Something to consider.
Reservations: Holiday Inn Express, 1391 S. Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO 81401
Phone 970-240-1800: Tell them you are part of the MustangSteve group. If they tell you the block is taken please contact me, Bob Evans, at 970-209-4468 and I will call and have them add rooms to the block if they are available, then call you right back. I'll be checking this regularly but it might get away from me. Drop off date for the block is May 23, 2016. Any rooms not reserved by then will revert to normal high season rates.
Alcohol consumption: The only downside for some of us (I ain't mentionin' any names) may be the fact that the hotel has a Tavern license and Colorado law requires that any alcohol consumed in the "public" areas of the premises be dispensed (that means sold) by the hotel. Consumption of your own stuff is only legal in your, or someone else's, private room. The hotel staff does watch and enforce this law.
Smoking: The facility is billed as 100% smoke-free. What that means is that no smoking is allowed within 15 feet of any entry door. Ash trays and butt snuffers are provided accordingly and also in the patio area.
Travel Information: I am preparing a couple of PDF documents explaining the good and bad of the various routes into Montrose and listing some things to see or do should you decide to come a day or two early or stay after the BASH. Or if you want to take an extra week and see some of our state.
Anyone wanting a copy of this information can send an email to: robertevans1945@gmail.com and simply put "bash info" in the subject line. I hope to see you all next June. We have a nice venue lined up and this should be another great BASH.
