I know a couple of members had really good deals on rooms last year.

Can anyone provide info on where to stay and what if any discounts are available


Thanks

I stayed at the Microtel near the airport in 2005. Room cost me 51$ a night thru Priceline.com.  Small room, but clean and comfortable bed.

I was told by others that the EconoLodge is bad... near train tracks. I was worried about being beside the highway at the Microtel, but it was quiet.

There is an Applebee's across the street, as well as a Dennys. You are 10 minutes from the expo.

Sparky

Near train track?  how about ON the !@#% track !!  

remember: you get what you pay for.  Spend 50$ more and be happy.

I've been staying at the Holiday inn express after the econolodge incident and been very happy with it.

I have stayed at both the wingate and the holiday inn express (DORNEY PARK) and have been happy with both.

This year I have booked at the holiday inn again, FWIW.  Both places run in the region of 95-110 per night

63.99$ per night at the Microtel for May 2-4th.

I'm thinking seriously about going this year too.  Just for a Holiday though. No pinball buying. Really. It's only a 7 hour drive for me, maybe ride along with Squid...  

A bunch of us stayed at the Howard Johnson's last year. It was nice. Free continental breakfast. Pool. Hot tub. Back entry for hauling games down the hall and into the room. Fun, fun, fun.

It was across from Dorney Park as well (although we never went), and it's not far from the show.

It was somewhere around the $79 mark with a CAA membership (but they never asked to see our CAA card, if you know what I'm sayin').

I had found a hotel for $59/night,
but had to cancel because the damn baby was born !    


I can't remember the name, but it seemed to be a decent place...

No babies in sight for this year, ...so I should be good to go !

Cheers,
Steph

mine was born May 14 th ... so I went !

You'd be welcome

probably three of us plus yourself but lots of room in the mini van

I was able to get the Crowne Plaza for $61/night through priceline (about 1.5 miles from the site) .. to get it you had to use the bidding process which means you are locked in

holiday inn express when I booked in november:

Fri 2 May 2008 - Sat 3 May 2008       $105.00 USD per night (1 room(s))

Total Tax �      $21.00 USD

Very happy with it.
