I just called for reservations at the Cobblestone. I was only able to book Thurs & Fri nights with standby for Saturday night. Someone has booked a wedding group and they are full up for Saturday night. Evidently they weren’t holding rooms for us this year as they have in the past. Fortunately, we’re only 40 min. or so from home. When I called (about a month ago) they acted like they never heard of idiotjam, I booked for Friday and Saturday and have a confirmation number, so here's hoping I have a room.

When I called to book a room, I asked for the Caligula Suite, and they acted like they had never heard of it, even when I explained that MajorMinor had stayed in it. So I had to settle for Suite Ordinaire, yawn ........ And I still do not get how this place gets by with no handicapped doorways and no elevator.

Wasn't the Caligula Suite in the Urbana Super 8? That was before the Cobblestone was built.

Well, I did talk to them about it. On June 19th. Here's where we were at that time, although I've heard the owners aren't aware of what we're doing since then. I'll head down there this week. In the meantime, like the below shows, there was a wedding planned before we got there. That happened before, I believe the last time we had it, but there were enough cancelations that it wasn't a problem.

The Modern would be alive and well today if they had SOLD flyswatters rather than putting them in the rooms for free.
