Nauvoo redux


We got a motel room for Nauvoo tonight. It's in the Temple House Apartments (Nauvoo Vacations) and is on the 3rd floor of the apartment house. It has a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room. We figure that it would have cost us about $70 a night to go to a hotel in Iowa, and then we would be eating out every meal, and commuting to the sites. This way, we are right there (view of the temple and everything else from the apartment), we can go to a store on the way in and get 4 days worth of food, and if the girls get tired in the afternoon, we take them over to have a nap. For $100 a night, we think that's worth it. They have other group/family apartments available for rent (We will be there July 4 - July 8.), if you decide to go, tell them we sent you. (Not that it would help us any.) The guy on the phone seemed really nice. Their cancellation policy was if it's 7 days or more out, it costs 10% of the first day. ($10). Some of the hotels I looked at charged you the total now and were non-refundable.
