Hotel Accommodations |
|||
Please remember that hotel accommodations are an individual
responsibility. All hotel reservations will be handled directly by the La Quinta Inn &
Suites, 8710 Seawall Blvd, Galveston, TX 77554. Phone 409-740-9100 to make
room reservations.
Normal room rates are over $116 per night during April, but General
Manager Willis Gandhi of the La Quinta Inn and Suites is setting up a special
price of $70.00 per night for all "standard rooms,” which are not a
suite. Two-room suites will be priced at $109 per night. This special rate does not include state and local
taxes of approximately fifteen percent (15%). Be
sure to inform the reservations clerk that you want the special Firebird
Association room rate--Group Code: Firebird Reunion All rooms have been reserved for the Firebirds at this price; first
come, first served. Additional nights are subject to availability--just ask
when registering. According to the
hotel, the special group rates apply before and after the reunion dates. Therefore, please make reservations at your
earliest opportunity. Note that three different Firebird Association members,
and their wives, have traveled to Galveston to check this property and have
recommended it for our reunion. A consideration in choosing this property
was the hospitality room, and hotel approval for the Association to serve its
own beverages and snacks. ______________________________ The La Quinta Inn & Suites is located just three miles from the center of the island city of Galveston. The hotel has a sparkling outdoor Swimming Pool and a relaxing Hot Tub, plus a Fitness Center for use at one’s leisure. Every morning, guests may enjoy a tasty complimentary Continental Breakfast served up by the courteous staff in the eating area off of the hotel lobby. |

The La Quinta Inn
and Suites is located next to the Scholes International Airport on Seawall
Boulevard, and faces the Gulf of Mexico. No airlines serve Scholes Airport,
so sound should not be an issue. To

61st Street in Galveston. Turn right on 61st Street to Seawall Boulevard.
Turn right on Seawall Boulevard and drive until you see the hotel on the
right side of the highway. Should you like more information about Galveston, please feel free to
