It was the highest rated hotel in Denver at the time according to their
online ratings and they were next to the US Mint. We wanted to tour the
Mint but changed our plans after the unfortunate encounter with the
disgusting vampire-like blood sucking and diseased bugs. Now we pull all
of the bedding apart and shine a black light around a room before unpacking
our luggage no matter where we stay. The only way to protect yourself is to
wrap yourself up in a mummy type sleeping bag covered in DEET and dispose of
it when your done.
A lot of vendors checked their beds at other hotels that year and couldn't
sleep after observing the tell-tale signs of the little blood suckers in
their rooms.
A women at the Tucson show was covered with bites and welts after sitting on
couch for about a half hour in one of the vendor's rooms. She had no idea
what had attacked her until we pointed it out. The poor woman was allergic
to them so we gave her some antihistamine.
If you find strange red marks or welts after entering a room, then you would
be wise not to bring any items home that were exposed because it could cost
you over $10,000.00 to rid your house of them. We were very fortunate
choosing to leave our cloths and luggage behind after seeing these nasty
things first-hand.

OH! I remember that! And that was some 10 years ago.
You told me about that hotel, and I told you that if you had asked me
before going there, I would have told you not to go to that "hotel" and
that I thought they only rented rooms by the hour considering the
neighborhood!
That neighborhood has improved quite a bit since then, but I don't know
about that hotel, probably still very cheap.

I only live three hours away so cannot speak for the hotel rooms. We
discovered a "four star" hotel in Denver (the Ramada) had bed bugs so you
never know what you are going to run into. It ruined our entire trip so
we
destroyed our luggage and have never returned since. If you check the bed
bug registry, you will be shocked how many hotels in Tucson are listed.
We
paid $140.00 a day and found a crack pipe and drugs hidden in the
kitchenette oven since there were no other rooms available in Tucson at
the
time. Thankfully, the attendance has been dropping off every year in
Tucson
so you can actually get a decent room for under $100.00 a night if you
shop
around.

For those attending the Quartzite show, I would stay in Lake Havasu that
is
less than an hour away or stay in a motor home which over 250,000 other
attendees do. Over 250,000 attend this extremely large show so it must
have
something to offer. I have found everything at this show and more. As a
matter of fact, the swap meet type atmosphere means better prices and more
selection. I found new and used saws, polishers and other preparation
equipment at a fraction of the price. I find that some of the older
equipment is way better. It says something when a 50 year old saw will
outlast a brand new one.
Have Fun,
Adam
