Any aviation themes we come up with are tastefully done, with period
furniture, artwork and memorabilia on the walls -- but that's it. As
airplane crazy as we are, we must operate in the real lodging world.

So, like, if you DID do an airline suite, does this mean that you wouldn't
load up the toilet tank with lots and lots of blue stuff?

Ha! We don't need none of that blue stuff in our hotel -- not with all the
crazy stuff that guests try to flush down our toilets.

We had the plumbers in three times in two weeks last month, to snake the
entire third floor, after the toilets backed up repeatedly. Some dolt was
apparently trying to flush pillows, or Kotex's, or *something* down those
potties, and backing up the whole works -- literally.

Mile High Suite
ooops I should have read ALL of the previous posts first. I'm bored.

Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free
night in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules:


Republic Suite
North Central Suite
Pan-Am Suite

Generic "Airline Suite"

Isn't there some kind of historic hanger or something at the airport that
has something to do with some now defunct airline that flew in/out there?
Name it after that airline. Connect the Hotel to the "historic" aspect of
the airport that it's next to.

Already got the "Pan Am Clipper Suite".

Our meeting room is decorated with stuff from both Ozark and United Air
Lines, both of whom once served Iowa City.

So we FINALLY finished the new "Piper Cub Suite" yesterday (some of that
artwork has been in our dining room for over three years!) at our aviation
theme suite hotel, and we're embarking on our last two aviation theme
suites, the "Apollo Suite" and the "Oshkosh Suite" -- both which have been
in the works for over two years.

However, since we created the "Cub Suite" by chopping one of our 2-story
townhouse suites in half (by walling off the stairs), we suddenly find
ourselves with an "extra" suite to name!

Thus, it's time to play "Name That Suite"! The winner earns a free
night in "their" suite, upon completion. Here are the rules:

1. The name must roll off the tongue, and be no longer than four words.
(I.E.: "The Charles Lindbergh Suite")
2. No aviation disasters, please. (No "Hindenburg Suite", please...)
3. Nothing potentially offensive or double-meaning (No "Bong Suite" or
"Hellcat Suite"...)
4. Combat-related names are iffy, unless they "sound pretty" to the
uninformed.

For example, our "Memphis Belle Suite" sounds "pretty" to folks who have
no idea who Bob Morgan was, and our "Mustang Suite" sounds kinda racy,
even to those who have NO idea what a P-51 is... We must be careful to
appeal to the NON-flying crowd, too, which eliminates a lot of great
names.

Ideally, the suite would honor a well-known era or aspect of aviation.
Look here to see which names are already in use:

Good luck!

The Thrust'n'Drag Suite

Ha! That would go over big in a college town....

I don't think it'll get past the "Mary Test", however....

Well, I'm late to the game on this one, but I didn't see this suggestion
in a quick review of the other "submissions."

I realize that this is also associated with a disaster, which probably
rules it out, however, I like the "Concorde Suite."

I always loved the look of this airplane and it was, is, and possibly
always will be the only commercially successful SST. It would be great
to see it memorialized at the Honeck resort.

And almost everyone, even non-aviation types, knew of the Concorde.
