Booking hotel for wedding - near airport or not? November 4 2011 at 12:08 PM		Tnetter (Login TxNet) The Frugalista Files


The last time we stayed at a hotel near an airport, it was really loud, even inside. Dd#2 thinks the hotel near the airport is the best location because it is near her work, her home, and the wedding location. I think downtown St. Louis might be better as far as noise, and proximity to the wedding. Her house is about 30 minutes from the wedding location and I have no idea how much running back & forth there will be, especially since we are doing all the food. Hotel prices are about the same right now, but as soon as the 2012 baseball schedule is announced, the ones near the park will go up. We need to book now. Anyone with experience have an opinion? ------ The road to success is always under construction.

Must be a north-vs-south thing.... - Darcy on Nov 7, 2011, 5:30 PM

It may be more a religious thing. - Beverly on Nov 7, 2011, 6:36 PM

Sure, they stay for most of it.... - Darcy on Nov 8, 2011, 7:19 AM
