As for the Hampton inn, we called them and they said they were breaking ground in a month. Not sure if that's true or not if you consider how long they had the "100 luxury room hotel coming soon" sign out forever!!

There's a huge variation of business that comes to/through dodge. We stay full a good portion of the week, weekends being our slow times. There's a big project at National right now, that occupies a few of our rooms. We have alot of regulars that have been coming here since I started (2 1/2 years)

A Hampton Inn with 100 rooms is going to be built behind the LaQuinta. And, one reason that all the motels are so full is due to pheasant hunters, construction, and oil exploration outfits.

The Wyatt Earp Inn is always full during the week. They have Millwright workers and other stuff like that.

Who has the Sante Fe contract now?

Recheck your sources, I think it is actually going to be built west of the Dodge House, after some location (and sign) shuffellng.....let me know if I'm correct.

The big sign in front of La Quinta says Hampton Inn & Suites will be behind La Quinta...unless they have moved it today.

I have heard both scenarios, so I guess we will just have to wait and see. If they don't run it any better than the other two, it will be a joke anyway!
