BLT I;m sure I've never had a hotel ask me why i'm in town and then quoted me another rate.I travel alot and if someone wants to know why i'm in town I sure wouldn't have to lie to them. I would simply tell them it was none of there business. My reply would be of this nature beacuse Hotels simply want to know (A) How many rooms will you be needing (B)What size of a room do I need (c) How long will you be staying and (D) Will you be paying with cash or charge. Also I would imagine since your online that you reserve your rooms online ( atleast that's what I do when I need a room) and at no time does it ask you during your online reservation why you are in town (atleast not any that I have done.) Also I've lived in the Topeka vacinity all my life and i'm pretty sure we don't have a motel or hotel that charges $200 or $250 for a regular room. One more thing, most of the restaurants in Topeka (that I have to wait in line to be seated) wouldn't have a clue if my son wrestled unless I told them. Our tournament is a big deal for us but unless your involved in the wrestling community the majority of Topekans wouldn't know you from the next person who walked in the door. I think maybey you were seated after someone else beacuse of the size of your party or the preference of your seating ( this may be a real possibility think about it.)
