It'a actually a couple of weeks too early for the real peak season for the foliage, and I'd buy the two night thing but you can reserve it just for Friday if you want. I've stayed there dozens of times, this was the first time that I've seen them require a minimum stay for a Saturday. Just wondering how prevlant it was in the chain.

Then again, I've stayed at the Hampton Inn two miles up the road, and then moved the next night to the Hilton, so maybe they are figuring out a way to stop people like me from hopping around for points. This time it's for a wedding so it's only one night needed...
