Nan and I visited with the event hotel contact person last Friday, 1 July. We had questions and wanted to ensure that our event stay would go smoothly, as in past years. The following is a list of the items discussed with the hotel contact person:
The time to make your room reservations is NOW, so we may increase the block size if needed.
Remember, all reservations may be canceled up to the day of the stay, with no charges.
- Just less than half of the current blocked rooms have been taken.
- When the current block is filled, we will probably be able to get more rooms blocked.
- Any reservations made after 2 September, will be at the standard room rates, and as available!
- There is just the normal security available, and not a roving guard in the parking lot.
- The event hotel parking area, will again, be blocked for our use only.
- The hotel will accept and store deliveries for items shipped to event participants (as in past years).
- Thursday night's pre-registration will be in the lobby entrance.
- Tail-gating will be allowed, and the hotel was warned that some re-coating of the parking lot surface is possible.
- Hooters is 2 minutes from the hotel.
- The track is 8-10 minutes from the hotel.
