I have received a few inquiries about whether the Dunn Inn pays for good reviews with special discounts or cash. We have not and will not be doing this. Any special rates we have are available to all CRT VIP members equally. I also do not and will not make any efforts to squash any criticisms on the board.

I spoke with Bill at the Sportsmens and he confirmed that he does not do this either. I personally do not know of any other sponsors doing this.

In general our rooms are quiet. We have just finished our major room renovation so daily construction noise has gome away. At night the traffic is light on the street and we are not on bus or train routes. We also installed double paned quiet windows in the building. Just contact me directly and I can help with booking one of the more quiet rooms.

this is something the proprietor of the Cardboard Inn, Inc was famous for..he would payoff in empty minis and a slightly used fly swatter!

however, the DIACORT residuals are impressive.

WTF? Members offering to shill for a hotel?

I love to know their handles, so I could disregard their reviews. Talk about undermining the purpose of this board. :roll:

I stayed at the Dunn Inn in Sept for 4 nights.

I just recently booked another stay there for Feburary.

I highly recommend this hotel.

The SL is still my favorite and preferred choice. But it's always booked up. :(

i have spoken well and frequently about the Hotel Dunn Inn (I was fond of it before Brother BKTuna gained stewardship) but shilling destroys credibility quickly--for both shill and object of shill. The only reviews worth it are peer reviews. That's the strength of both this Board and TA. I sincerely believe that if anybody were to offer to shill these venues, they'd get a swift kick in the pants and be "outed" here for their pains. It's unfortunate that Brother BKTuna felt it necessary to address the subject--it is a total non-issue for me and most likely, you.
