Testimonials
Our partners say it best
We proudly support Public Broadcasting and have participated in WCNY’s Travel Auction for several years now. Face it, when you need a break and Key West calls, The Gardens Hotel is the best place to leave the world behind and live the salt life. NY Times named The Gardens Hotel The prettiest Hotel in Key West.
I’ve been participating in your auction for a few years now and will continue to do so as you are great people to work with and love your programs.
We are devoted fans of PBS and NPR wherever we have lived and traveled. We are proud to again donate to WCNY’s Travel Auction to support Public Broadcasting. We invite you to visit our B&B in a special cultural place in Pennsylvania.
“Participating in WCNY’s Travel Auction provides us the unique opportunity to both promote our resort to existing potentially new customers in upstate New York, as well as support public television.”
“Participating in WCNY’s Travel Auction…Is a Win-Win-Win for us! First and foremost, we love supporting PBS broadcasting. Second, we market The Green Iguana Hotel to a very responsive audience, AND a lucky couple discovers a unique way to explore the Caribbean!”
