I’m coming back home for a couple days and looking to rent a hotel room for a couple days next week. I just wanna know whats going on with all the decently priced rooms being booked full. The only ones, that I’ve seen so far, that aren’t booked are the ones that cost $150+ per night. ---

Yeah but you’d think they’d want the nicer hotels. Not the ones costing under $90/night. ---

If you have a choice, this is not the weekend you want to be here. Nope don’t really have a choice on being there or not. I’m only going to actually be downtown one day. The others are going to be seeing family and taking advantage of the tax free clothes. ---

Have you checked the discount sites like orbitz or travelocity? My understanding, from booking with them in the past, for a hotel to sell through them, they must hold back a percentage of rooms for last minute bookings. I learned this when I was in toledeo one year for a show and they fucked up my room. They called all around town and everyone was 100% booked. I called travelocity and they told me that they had 14 hotels in the area that had 7-12% of their rooms open. Including the one I booked at. I ended up with a 4 room suite for around $55.00 a night… ---

Everything out by me is filled up. Even travelocity isn’t finding much. You might have to try some small (maybe crappy) motels. There are a few south like: [http://local.yahoo.com/details;\_ylt=Apgv.nPPKDRv9C9IoPW5gQmHNcIF?id=11806187&state=PA&city=Belle+Vernon&stx=Knotty+Pine+Motel&csz=Belle+Vernon%2C+PA+15012&fr=&ed=fjcfkq131DyvwOR6gkYaNV0b96gK147NFKk6iXw9d7GT5LfKkMZL9aVC&lcscb=](http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt=Apgv.nPPKDRv9C9IoPW5gQmHNcIF?id=11806187&state=PA&city=Belle+Vernon&stx=Knotty+Pine+Motel&csz=Belle+Vernon%2C+PA+15012&fr=&ed=fjcfkq131DyvwOR6gkYaNV0b96gK147NFKk6iXw9d7GT5LfKkMZL9aVC&lcscb=) Maybe other people know of small places near them. ---

I tried travelocity, [hotels.com](http://hotels.com), and one other I can’t think of. They didn’t have anything. My friend who lives in kittaning said there’s one up by her. ---
