A business deal would mean that the 'company' is paying for the rooms directly, or we're all pooling our money together and paying for em. It's gonna be tricky, but I'll see if that's an option. We can pool together advanced funds that we get from the underage crowd, then all we need is a 'business' to step up and do the paperwork in their name. We can ask View Askew to do it, but I highly doubt they'll accept.
It's all about liability and insurance, and unfortunately, the Inn's insurance company looks at anyone who's under 21 and not WITH someone over 21 and considers them 'unescorted minors'. If the insurance company won't cover it, the Inn's won't cover it, and the staff would be putting their jobs on the line by 'squeaking them by'. Since I have a good relationship going with the Sales Manager (Miss Shari), she's gonna try to help us navigate this obstacle course and get us in, but we HAVE to get the Fab Four from overseas taken care of FIRST. Anyone else who's stateside has an easier chance of scrounging up someone over 21 to go with them, so they have less of a priority. It's only fair.
Let's see what happens tomorrow when I hear back from them, but you can't say I didn't fight tooth and nail for you guys...
