More Hotel Rooms Would Be A Good Thing
It’s definitely been a busy summer, and it shows, by the amount of stuff that I’ve written, here. In the previous post, I talked about a travel conference that was held in Fargo, in April. Since then, a lot has happened… especially the travelling.
For the past three months, all of the hotels in Jamestown have been completely full almost every night. There have been a few “slow” nights, but I would guess that 95% of the time, they have all been full. Some of the reason is due to events happening in town, but most of the reason is because everything to the west of Jamestown has been full, as well.
It seems like every night, there are a large amount of people that had expected to stop in Dickinson or Bismarck but had to keep moving east because there was nothing available over there.
This is great for the hotels in town, but very bad for the people that are traveling. More rooms in town might mean a slight drop for individual hotels (that may not completely fill), but would be a great thing for the many people that end up sleeping in their cars, or worse, continue driving when completely tired.
