Thanks Marty & Moe!!!!!Martyritaville wrote:Folks, Best Western IS bookable.

Thanx Moe for making me call them.

I have made reservations at Best Western Mill River Manor in Rockville Center, 5 miles from Jones Beach, they say...picture looks much like the Bar Harbor Inn....and not far from that great italian restaurant next to the bar harbor.....lol

I don't think the traffic will be that bad. It isn't a holiday weekend and getting there the time most of us usually do, we should miss rush hour traffic.fabduo wrote:Oh and it is on Friday the 19th Margaritaville has it up on the site now!!
