Mayo Hotel/Cain's Ballroom

[jne]

Anyone know much about the current state of the Mayo Hotel?  The organization I work for is hosting a national conference in a few weeks and has a contract for a private banquet/concert to be held at Cain's Ballroom for our guests.  However, Cain's warned us 2 days ago that they plan to breach the contract in favor of a Brooks and Dunn video shoot if the B&D execs won't move off of the date.  Our liason from Cain's has proposed the Mayo hotel ballroom as an alternative.  I had heard that there were problems stirred up with the hotel that came from the Main St. restoration.  Not to mention the 4 contracts dependent on the Cain's contract! We are VERY dissappointed in Cain's at this point, but we have to move forward in accomidating for our guests in less than 3 weeks!
