New Mexico 2010 Eating Tour HOTEL

As of today, the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown hasn't programed our September Roadfood group in its system.

However, online, Sheraton has two attractive rates available, $104 prepaid nonrefundable and $112 with some cancellation restrictions.

Being older, I went with the telephone reservation system's "Birth Year" rate, a $159 regular rate the first night, plus two nights at the last two digits of your birth year, for example, if born in 1947, those nights would be $47 each plus tax.

Besides price for some of us, a huge advantage of this last rate is the ability to cancel up to 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival without penalty. That gives the ability to switch to the conference rate when it becomes available or to cancel for any reason.
