Travel Plans

The ceremony will be April 22nd at 2, with a reception to follow. While we have limited seating in the church, everyone is invited to the reception. Parents and witnesses are welcome/encouraged to come early for last minute preparations and a night on the town!

I went ahead and reserved 20 rooms at the Hampton Inn here in Laramie for a rate of $78 per room/per night. It is the newest hotel here in town and they have a wonderful hot breakfast, free Internet, indoor pool, hot tub, elevators, etc. 10 of the rooms are 2 queen size beds (for families or friends who might want to share) and 10 are with king size beds. Guest can make reservations by calling 307-742-0125 by March 21st. (Beyer-Sherwood Wedding) All rooms are non-smoking.
You can view the hotel at: http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=UJUZOXMY3AA12CSGBIYM22QKIYFCXUUC?ctyhocn=LARWYHX

Or if you’d prefer something less expensive (Motel 6, 1-800-466-8356) or a B&B, check out: http://www.laramie-tourism.org/index.php for a complete list of hotels. I won’t recommend the Howard Johnson. The Travel Lodge is already booked, but the Days Inn is nice (clean and roomy). The Days Inn is close to the prison, less than 3 min.
1368 McCue St.800-329-7466
If you’d prefer a B&B in town: The Brick Bed and Breakfast has 3 rooms, nonsmoking rooms, a spa and fitness center and is close to historic downtown and the UW campus.102 S. 5th307-745-4390. The Owners are Penny and Gary Espeland. If you decide to stay here, please tell them I sent you.
Really, everything is close. Anything on 3rd St. should be within walking distance of historic downtown (food and shopping).
