Our two best hotels are the Paxton and the Fontenelle. I have asked them to get in touch with you relative to rates. The Missouri Valley teams have recently paid $1.50 per man, single bed accommodations, two men to a room with private bath. There has been some complaint that $1.75 has been charged frequently. There has been no complimentary room for the coach as far as I know.
