YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIDAHO FALLS — You may have heard that all hotels in east Idaho are already full for the eclipse Aug. 21.
That rumor is wrong.
If you’ve been online looking for a hotel room, it may appear everything is full — but reality is a little different. Some hotels are full, but many others still have rooms available if you call and ask.
“We are starting to fill up. I do not believe that our hotel is completely full,” said John Weldon, spokesman at InnTrusted Hotels, who also manages the Holiday Inn Express in Idaho Falls.
EastIdahoNews.com contacted 10 hotels this week to see which had rooms available between the dates of Aug. 19 and 22. Of those hotels, four had rooms that are available, three were reaching capacity, and three had no available rooms left.
But if you search online on third-party sites like Expedia.com, or Hotels.com, most of the hotels in the Idaho Falls area are listed as being as unavailable during the time of the solar eclipse.
