Selecting a Hotel
by Zachary ~ May 3rd, 2010. Filed under: Wedding.Last week, I called to discuss group rates for the hotels in Maple Grove. It was quite convenient because one woman named Megan was able to get me the information for all of the hotels in the area. After getting the availability and pricing for the hotels, Clarissa and I decided that the Courtyard Marriott was the best option. (We apologize to those of you who wanted to make use of the water park at the Holiday Inn next door.) We thought the rates were a little steep, but after getting a tour of the Marriott, Clarissa and I felt they were justified. It has a nice restaurant and bar on the main level. Many of the rooms have balconies, and all of the rooms are silent. Megan explained that the concrete construction dampens just about all sound. We secured group rates for standard king and double queen rooms. All of the rooms have microwaves, mini fridges, and free Internet. The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor hot tub, a fitness center, and free laundry facilities. As far as inexpensive lodging goes, the moral of this story is not to get married in Maple Grove. The hotel address and reservation links are now available.
