Just noticed I made a bad mistake on my Portland reservations

Bryan, I've been a platinum member of HIE for 15 years, and have been traveling 35-40 weeks a year for the last 30 years just retiring a year ago.(forced)😞 Quite often they'll have a cancelation so you can pick up another night. Talk to the manager in person (no phone call) not the desk person, HIE has manager saved rooms.
Good luck😆

64farmboy,

Looks like you've got me beat on the plaitnum membership at HIE, I've only been one for 8-9 years.😆 I had planned on speaking to the manager when we arrived just as you recommend. We'll probably stop in before hitting the show just to check on a cancellation even though we most likely won't be able to check in, just to make the request. Still feelin like a fool. :doh:

I think the hotel in Bluffton still has vacancies (Bluffton inn). I called to confirm the other day and they fellow told me he would call if something was amiss. No news is good news, I guess.

Hey, Bryan.
Don't give up so soon. There are also hotels in Decatur that are only 20 minutes away (unless you get stuck behind one of those Indiana drivers doing 37mph on the two lane highway with limited passing opportunities. I call them "Indiots"). Also, the Tri-State club campgrounds across the road from the Fairgrounds has clean, decent shower facilities. I'm bringing my tent (the "Portland, Remington Grand Hotel").
