This Porum is a very good idea from Aaron.
Hi guys, I am Zoltan, will be arriving from Budapest this time. Is there anyone out there who is also coming from Europe? Or someone who is coming from further away from Spokane, and will need lodging, and local transportation? We could team up to share costs, increase our convenience, provide company. : looking into lodging, there are some places with multiple bedrooms for relatively good price. The deal is that they are a bit further away from E Lyons Ave, so it requires a car. Who is willing to share? We have to move quickly since places fill up quickly. I even thing to get a place for five nights, one more, to acclimatize, and be able to help a day to Aaron and team. Please get in touch ASAP.

Here are some examples, multiple rooms, if shared reasonable price still available:

And a few more

[EFTrescue]

I just booked at the Howard Johnson. There were only two rooms left, unless I read the page inaccurately. The cost was approx $500

[Tom Wlazlak]

The cost was approx 500.oo $ Was that for the whole week;? if so; lets see divided by 5 = approx 100 dollars a day; I have to Ask; does the room come with bugs or at least rats I mean
Wow; approx; 100 dollars can now buy 2 people lunch now-A-days; to get a whole room; at the same cost as lunch;
Oh; Wait; this is Spoke-en WA. it is the back waist land of nothing in the desert where they did no have the energy to cross over the pass into a land of milk and honey some time in the day of old; before common sense of what the best place not to live was first discovered; And they still live there;? makes one wonder does't It?

Well it is freezing cold in the winter and blazing hot in the summer and yes; bugs do come with the rooms; No extra charge; and only 500 $ approx. in some time frame; That may or may not be still up for grabs; That page was misconstrude. or miss spelled; how is one really sure of anything; ( mice - Oh; I mean Rats ) Everything is so confusing; booking a room with a view to the next rooms view; next door;

Din ma; Tom - Always take a room with you when you go; less bugs involved; and you can always move to a closer view to the view of the Howard Jonson's through the telescope 10 miles away; And the lunches 20 miles away could be 1/10 th. the cost for 2 people; Worth checking out; not checking in; To the total Unknown;( OF ) The World of Spoke-inn's

[EFTrescue]

$500 for the stay. That’s the number.

If you want to break it down, go ahead—about $100 a night. That’s a normal rate, not some outrageous mystery math problem.

The rest of what you wrote doesn’t actually answer anything. It’s just a long, scattered rant about bugs, rats, and Spokane. If you’re trying to say the place isn’t worth it, just say that clearly.

Otherwise, it reads like noise.

If you’ve got a better option or a real comparison, post it. That would actually be useful.
