Hotel reservations for 2019.

[MEK-Dangerous]

Has anyone made them yet?

I like the Holiday Inn express that I've had the last couple of years in New Cumberland. The parking lot isn't all that big, and the Chrysler 300 crowd seems to think it's cool to put up cones on half the lot for their cars. That is my only negative. The positive is it is just across the street from "our" pizza party parking lot.

So, I was looking at the Fairfield Inn, which is newer, and just next to the pizza parking lot. I'm thinking this is my ticket, since it seems Holiday Inn increased their rates.  Any feedback is appreciated.

I know there is talk of moving to another hotel @ViperMan  . . I am waiting to see if this is the plan or not? 

[ViperMan]

Yeah - there was talk of moving it to the hotel that @Brads70 always stays at (I believe).  It's in Mechanicsburg, I think it's the Park Inn by Radisson at 5401 Carlisle Pike, right Brad?

I know it's a BIG hotel - several clubs stay there.  It also has a full restaurant and bar inside for anyone interested.  It's parking lot is huge, and it has things like volley ball courts and such in back.  The plus side is lots of space and room for everyone, but the downside is that there's no "area" to cordon off and have as our own like we do in New Cumberland.

Personally, I have no preference.  I love all you Mopar nerds but hotel shopping for Carlisle was always a giant PITA and now that I'm in South Carolina, I can't do it anymore. 

So I'm waiting to see what every one else wants to do and decide from there.  @MEK-Dangerous - I was thinking of trying that hotel next year as well.  Also, the 300M club wasn't even the most annoying presence at the hotel this past year...

Yes that's the one I've stayed at before. I really recommend it, restaurant out front has really good food(Irish Pub) Lots of room for trailers, nice pool etc...

Made mine already.  Been staying at the Towne Place Suites in Mechanicsburg.  My friend and I share a two bedroom, two bath suite.  Now have a restaurant out front to walk to as well.

I just tried to reserve a room at the Park Inn by Radisson at 5401 Carlisle Pike and it also says there's not any available.     It sounds like a great place.  @Brads70  do you already have your room there?

No not yet. I think I'll  try again in a month or so, as I don't think they book that far in advance.

Same here, said no rooms available but looks like a great location and plenty of room for trailers and our nightly get togethers. 

[Spikedog08]

I think 9 months out is the magic number . . Most of the online sites won't book a room unless it is within 9 months of your stay . .

Being a creature of habit, I like our old out of the way parking lot party area through the years. We had it to ourselves, and it worked.

IF the Park Inn Radisson becomes available in the future, I'm game if everyone else is.... I mean, it won't be much of a party if I'm at our old spot eating pizza by myself. You might have noticed I don't talk much. I talk even less to myself.

So I just booked a room at that hotel just in case we decide to move  . . I used Booking.com . . . use this link and sign up for a room . .

https://www.booking.com/s/18_6/4fa08093

Price was just over $550 for a 3 night stay.  Starting to pack now . . . 

[blown motor]

Wow! That's not cheap.

[Spikedog08]

I also tried to get another room at the Fairfield next to our area in New Cumberland and rooms were limited there and non refundable . . . That does not thrill me as if something comes up and I cannot go, want to be able to cancel my reservation . . .

Might try to get one at the Holiday Inn express in New Cumberland in case we decide to stay in the typical area . . . DONE!  $470 for the 3 nights . . .
