Default Name an Aviation Theme Suite -- Win a Prize!

If it is not toooooo late, I have one... The Aviatrix Suite.

Sorry, Chris -- the contest is over.

But thanks! You might be interested to know that we've got an "Aviatrix
Wall", located outside the Amelia Earhart Suite, which is chock-full of
photos of famous women pilots.

Steven, there is nothing I would rather do. I've read her books, and
she's just an amazing aviatrix.

Sadly, her name rings no bells with non-aviators, and that's a
prerequisite for all of our suites. The names must appeal to the 95% of
our guests who AREN'T pilots.


Okay, but do you really think "Mustang Suite" causes 95% of your guests
think of a WWII fighter and not a mid-'60s pony car? Or "Constellation"
inspires thoughts of a piston-engined airliner and not stargazing in
non-aviators?

I don't know. All I know is that those two suites are VERY popular, for
several reasons.

1. Everyone knows the Mustang, be it car or plane
2. "Constellation" sounds pretty to women.
3. The Mustang is our cheapest hot tub suite, at just $74.95, and a lot of
people say "cheapest possible" -- but want a jacuzzi
4. The Mustang and Constellation are two (of only three) smoking-permitted
suites at the inn. Since smokers are still somewhere between 20 - 30% of
our adult population, that tends to shunt them into these suites. (The
third suite is the Reno Air Race Suite, our smoking-permitted honeymoon
suite. Few people pay the extra $$$ for the honeymoon suite.)
