How is the facility in Florence?

December 2009 or 2010? Just wondering if RHC is booking the Crowne Plaza for this year.

If you were trying for this year and the Crowne Plaza was not available, could you still get an Affinia?

The Affinia is totally booked. I shall try just before I leave to see if they have had a cancellation, but I don't expect anything. The Crowne Plaza contract does not start until January - this led to the confusion over which December week I was booking.

I have been trying to find out what, if any, difference in tax there is between an Ambassador and a studio at CP. I have some days coming up in May in an Ambassador, so if we don't hear anything before that I will let you all know then. I paid almost double the tax for an Ambassador at the Affinia Manhattan as I did for a studio at Affinia Dumont. Don't know if it was the hotel or the size of the room, but it was definitely a bit of a shock!
