Thanks Skip You could make a PQ for all caches that contain trackable items (TBs and coins). There's no way to identify a "Hotel" as such in any field or attribute on the cache page.

Thanks Skip "TB Hotel" is not a recognized cache type. Since any cache that's big enough can hold trade items, it's not a real distinction. Best you can do is create a PQ of caches in your area bigger than "small", then scan for "hotel" in the title. Quote Link to comment
+jhauser42 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 You can make a bookmark list of anything that you identify as a TB hotel then run a PQ off of the bookmark list. Quote Link to comment

+JohnE5 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 TB hotels are not allowed. Only the TB owner can place restrictions on the bug. I've heard TB hotels called TB graveyards since they seem to die in one waiting for someone to trade it. Just do a PQ for trackable items. Quote Link to comment

The one doesn't cancel the other. "TB Hotels" get listed all the time. It's just a general term for "high traffic crossroads location for large-sized cache with easy access in a nice protected area where you can be reasonably sure to pick up and drop off more than a couple of travelers." You're thinking of "TB Prisons" - a derogatory term for "Hotels" that try to impose restrictions on picking up and dropped off travelers. Quote Link to comment
+smstext Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 i have one of my own caches near to me i call a tb hotel, i welcome people to take out as many tb's as they want and its a useful place for me to drop off any tb's i pick up on my travels. Quote Link to comment

Mine has been in operation for 6+ years. Hundreds if not a thousand plus travelers have passed through it. Almost 1500 logs have been posted, as many cachers make repeat visits due to its outstanding location on the main road between the airport and the nearby interstate. It's hidden with permission behind the only hotel on the airport side of the interstate. Back OT-you cannot set up a PQ just for these caches. But as already posted, run a keyword search on the phrase and make your own bookmark list, or just copy the two that my cache is already listed on. Once you have a bookmark list you can run a PQ for the list. Quote Link to comment
