Rating GUKCC
Well, I’m off to DC today, so I won’t be stopping by much in the next few days. A short break from the blogosphere will do me much good! Like any good deafie, though, I have a pager. So we’ll see just how addicted I truly am over the weekend and into next week. *grin*
While preparing for my trip, I found something rather amusing. The GUKCC advertises its hotel online. A very snazzy website, with pictures and links and the whole works. Well, if you navigate through the site and reach the page marked “Rates,” you’ll see at the top this blurb: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is a “Newly Renovated” hotel less than a mile from the US Capitol that offers rates less than $200.00 per night!
Less than $200 in DC? Hmmm… not a bad deal. My eyes skipped down to the posted (current?) rates:
Rack Rate - $325.00 Single $355.00 Double
Now, I know the rack rate is not the rate everyone has to pay, and I’m warning you right now to never hire me as an accountant, but it seems to me that $325 is $125 more than $200. There’s no asterix after the blurb at the very top, either, so I don’t know if there are tons of exceptions to the advertised “less than $200 per night” rate.
Oh, well. I guess that’s truth in advertising for you… 
Geez, I’m still reading your other blog.
But anyway, have a great time!
I’m sorry - that was in my guttural voice:
“avea KKKratim”
*sounds hitting chest and hand*
yeah maybe I should have been IamMIME.
“OUCH!” $325-200 hotel rate per night for the GUKCC lodging accomodation in Captiol Hill-Trindad area?? The GUKCC hotel room resemble much like a bland motel room in the glitzy building in overall.
The GUKCC hotel would make a lot of $$ if they allow Gally students to pay for the lodging accomodation to have a private sexual activity to pry away from the eyes of Gallaudetians.
The current GUKCC hotel policy forbid the rental of hotel room to any Gallaudet students, except extraordinary circumstance.

GUKCC rooms aren’t bland, but they certainly aren’t what I’d expect for $300+. More on this soon…
[…] Before I left for the conference, I posted about the rack rates at the fancy-schmancy hotel at the GUKCC. It’s now February 16, and they haven’t changed a word– guess they don’t like to dig around in the Sandbox. […]
