Re: IRI - What Can Be Improved

1. Very small thing -
better writing tools (wide tip markers) for the Talent Show judges.
The paper was great.

next two I'm hesitant about but:

2. Pick a few people/volunteers to write a very brief paragraph rating their hotel selection/experience and post it with the hotel information for new out of towners who are trying to decide. I'm not picky and don't care but I wasn't traveling with a team. The rating will give an idea. Example: room size adequate, close to venue, kitchenette, good breakfast, great pool.
Or - dark parking area, pot holes, no housekeeping service during stay, no breakfast, small room, dirty pool. Things of that nature. Reason I suggest hand picking or finding a way to do this is to keep the grumbling and useless information at a minimum. It is an assumption on my part that the hotels listed in the IRI information are tried and true but some folks like to know a little more about the area and hotel.

3. I'm still not sure but I think Indianapolis is 55 mph. That is way different from Texas. If something could be provided in the travel information regarding the standard inform. such as mph or pay attention to the road markers (those totally rock), it might be helpful. If the mph is 55, I was very very lucky my Texas foot did not get a ticket. I could get down to 60.

Chris, you make an awesome NEM.
