Q:
I'm trying to plan a business trip to San Diego and would like to reserve either the Langley or the Ranger meeting room. Am just looking for estimated cost so that I can include that in the proposal. Plan would be 8 hours one day and 5 hours the second day. Timeframe would be flexible but for getting estimate, let's just say late May during the work week. Prompt response is very appreciated as would like to get it approved and need that info. Have tried calling Midway staff multiple times and keep getting voice mail and zero calls returned.
A:
Hi, I have never booked any meeting rooms, try tourist info next, they might be able to help you out.

I'll answer my own question. They provide an audio device that has a small built-in speaker, however, it's better to use your own headphones or wired earbuds. They do not provide you with headphones, so you'll need to bring your own. As an alternative, you can also use your smartphone with their app to listen to the audio recordings.
