Chris - Can work with whatever works for you. As long as designated hotel site, no problem with reimbursement. Either option as far as days, works for me.

In working with several properties, the rates are as high as $159 per night. Is this rate too high for a beachfront property? Many of the hotels indicate Sunday – Tuesday availability. Is there a preference for these dates or a Wednesday – Friday option? We are trying to be peacemakers – or are overthinking this? Thanks in advance for your input. Chris p.s. Anne – can you forward to our finance colleagues?
