Got a message from a lady @ oklahomacentennial.com, who said that she believed that the nicest lodging, "near" to the County Courthouse was @ the "Hotel Ambassador" (1-888-408-8282), which is a 55 room, "boutique" hotel, located about :"10-11 blocks, from the Courthouse, according to Bill, in Reservations. Nice website. Bill said that they ARE accepting firm reservations, NOW, for $180.49 [out-the-door] per nite, for a 1-king-bed room, & 'slightly-more' for a room with 2 double-queen beds. They do not have inside parking (but there is a $10.00/day covered parking facility, next door), but they do have security camaras posted, in their lot. Apparently, street-crime isn't 'high', in @ the Ambassador. The thing is : $180.00/nite MAY BE CHEAP, when all the other hotels/motels get around to posting their prices, when they 'officially' accept reservations, for that week. However, maybe the Ply-Club &/or WPC Club could negotiate reasonable 'block-reservations'. I, then, re-contacted the Crown Plaza, & learned that they have 462 rooms, and they do have 'under-cover' parking, and nite-time, (anyway), security. The C.P. reiterated that they do not know precisely how-much they might charge, for 6/07 reservations, but for 2006, they're charging a base rate of $99.00/nite, So, the Imperial Club ought to stay @ the Hotel Ambassador!!
