  • Well, Ha! Don’t that just beat all.  The Hotel was apparently overbooked recently – due to an internet glitch, or just the stupidity of Marlene Krauss and David Elder.  Guests were showing up with reservations but there were no rooms, so the people at the front desk had to send them to other hotels –…
