again you are right....damn i hate that...our price point for hotels at a $189 a night are not luring conventions......i dont mind paying $500 a night at the colcord cause it is a boutique hotel but OKCCVB needs to market a lower hotel rate for conv..however like you said i think more hotels the better....because we are going to grow beyond bricktown ie..the river midtown airpark ect... and we need hotels that are not on meridian
