It was me who posted what we were told about the distance to the Hilton, and I hope you don't mean me regarding negativity and posts by know it alls. In case there is any question, what I posted is what the Board was told at the January Board meeting, and given your post, it is evident that we were given wrong information. Unfortunately, we were meeting in Memphis at the time, so had no way to actually go check. Personally I am really glad to hear that the Hilton is not that far, and am glad you went to the trouble to drive it yourself. To set the record straight, I did not say what the distance was, since I have no idea. What I did say was:"It was reported that it is 45 minutes from the show site, while the Best Western is much closer, and that the rooms at the Hilton are more expensive." Since I was concerned that maybe I had misunderstood, I double-checked the audio recording today. I found that I had made a bit of an error in my original post - what we were told was that the Hilton was 40-45 minutes from the show site. I apologize for whatever issues the wrong information may have caused anyone, and am glad our Colorado members have sorted matters out. It is difficult to work with inaccurate information.

I just got off the phone with the Hilton and was told the drive could be as quick as 15 min. or as long as 25 min. depending on traffic ( time of day) The Hilton is a very nice full service hotel for you coffee lovers it has a Starbucks in the lobby. hi, we drove from the show site to the hilton & it took 20 MINUTES. ONCE AGAIN, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS & SPREAD RUMORS.
