I hope not as the mail already goes to Corpus when I send it here in town! How stupid!
Hi there! Thanks. I just want to have a positive welcome for visitors. The last thing we want is for visitors not to come because they think hotels are full of students. That hurts every Victorian.
There are some great hotels here to stay in. I am not asking for you to spell it out but I know of 2 hotels that were just build in the last year or two. Have you been by for a tour? You will be pleasantly supprised.
Again for victorianbybirth comment...Victoria hotels are ready for Visitors and welcome you.
Visitors DON'T have to worry about availability to find a hotel room during Turkeyfest. Each hotel only took in a small group of students so they would still have availability for their regular guests and visitors.
We loved it! Good Job City of Victoria! We actually had a fireworks watching party at Candlewood Suites. All of our guests really appreciated the fireworks. What a good promotion for our City!
Please call the hotel to book a room or for more information about our fireworks watching party!
Have a Safe Holiday!
I take my pets everywhere I can. Have you heard about the Adopt-a-pet dinner at Greek Brothers on March 30, 2010?
When I travel with my pet I have used this website: petswelcome.com
I also know that at all Candlewood Suites pets are accepted with a pet deposit as a brand standard. The website is: candlewoodsuites.com

Yes, there is a place in town that does charge $20 per night.
I am fine with people disagreeing with me, I don't like it when EX -residents like you are misinformed. My demeanor is just a reaction to your lack of information. I can assure you that the hotels that were built in the last 15 years at Navarro and the loop are occupied by business travelers. Drive by any night of the work week and you can see for yourself as most companies have their logo on the vehicle or it is a rent a car.
If the hotels at Navarro & the loop have the business travelers paying $100-150 a night, $7-10 per night for occupancy tax then those hotels are generating more occupancy tax than "Teardrop Inn" charging $20 a night. 0 .07 * $20 = $1.4 in occupancy tax.
There is not a poor me. Every city in Texas charges an occupancy tax. If the person living in a hotel had a house they would pay property taxes and if they lived in an apartment their landlord includes in the price of rent to pay for the landlord’s property taxes. We all pay!
And if you look at City Council agenda they did approve the bid to spend the money, yes, local tax payer’s money out of general funds, to fix Sam Houston Drive.
The CVB is doing a good job. Find something else to complain about.
By the way the birds lived fine until mankind came along and messed up their environment. Why do you think they are on the Endangered Species List? 99% of the animals on that list are on the list do to mandkind. Have you ever heard of the passenger pigeon?
"The Aransas range in Texas is protected as is the whoopers' last breeding area. However, Aransas is next to an intercoastal waterway with heavy commercial barge traffic. Wildlife biologists want to establish new populations to ensure the species couldn't be wiped out by an oilspill there.
The number one cause of death of adult cranes is collisions with power lines during migration. Other factors include industrial, agricultural and recreational developments which encroach on wintering and migration rest areas." excert from http://raysweb.net/specialplaces/page...
And yes, there are starving humans in the world and in Victoria. Give to the Food Bank of the Golden Cresent.
