Recommendation for a room Carlisle 2020

[Jay Bee]

Thanks for that info Dave, it'll definitely be a factor for me.

@72 Challenger I didn't mean to exclude you but be darned if I could remember your name. I know I missed a few other Ontarians. Gramz something comes to mind as one.

When I look online, the Park Inn has no rooms available. I'm sure that will change as the show gets closer, and people start canceling.

I have no problem going back to our old spot in Mechanicsburg.

Although I thought the Park Inn was ok . . I vote that we go back to the other site.  There are multiple hotels, we have a decent lot for after show activities and certainly . . Many memories.  There is a budget hotel, a mid class and a couple high end hotels.  In our group of  hotels around the lot, there is

A) Capital Inn, New Cumberland (I have stayed here and paid $80 a night if booked early)
B) Holiday Inn, Harrisburg South
C) Fairfield Inn, Harrisburg West

And then in front is a newer La Quinta hotel that I don't think anyone has tried.   All of these hotels are easily within walking distance to our party lot. 

That is 4 hotels that I would think should satisfy all the members.  50 years of ebodies is going to be an amazing show!  I wish all members would make plans to come to this hotel group at least this one year.  The club meet this year should be epic!

We decided too late so ended up at the Holiday Inn Express in Mechanicsburg down the street from the "club" hotel, it was decent but didn`t have a lot of extra parking for trailers or the "party". The nice thing was a bit more convenient location wise than the other site but it`s not really a big deal as we only need to go back and forth to the hotel twice each day.  I am fine going back there and if the wife comes along she`ll still have her breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express - happy (fed) wife, happy life!

trailer parking is a concern.

I called the Park Inn yesterday again and the guy told me that they are closing down soon. Apparently they are building a giant shopping mall there. I searched online to see if I could confirm it but I couldn't find anything. I know a few of you guys weren't in love with the place but I really liked the fact that there was a restaurant and several bars on site and tons of other stuff very close to it.

This restaurant is on site!   http://www.boomeranggrill.com/    Texas holdem games on Thursday!  Has a patio, dining room and a sports bar!  Menu looks like a nice selection!  Check the map in the web site . . shows the location and all the hotels in close proximity  . . . looks like about 9 hotels in the general area!   Also has a comedy club on Friday and Saturday!

@blown motor No worries, it's hard remembering everyone on the internet! I have never been able to make the parking lot parties or the dinners so I would give no input towards a hotel. I also don't travel through southern Ontario en route to Carisle since I am coming from Ottawa. There is a small chance I might travel down in my buddies plane, he just picked up a Cesna 172.

I am going to be there in 2020 though and thats what matters.

The Park Inn is closing?!?!  That's insane!  Like that area needs another giant shopping mall...  Sheesh...

Well if that is indeed true, then I agree with Spikedog and we go back to the original area.  I agree it isn't perfect and I know that some people are going to stick with what they know, but I can't stress enough that the parking lot "hangout" each night is the greatest part of the entire weekend, EVEN if Spikedog is like, the most annoying person you've ever met...   

So even if just for one year, consider stepping out of your comfort zone and lets fill the parking lot with e-bodies... 

@Spikedog08 - should we do an official vote?  If the Park Inn is closing, then we definitely need a solid plan...

[blown motor]

We need a solid plan either way. Maybe we should set up a pole.

[Spikedog08]

Thanks Viperdork!   I think it is a no brainer . . . Just go back to the original party area!  There are literally 9 hotels within walking distance to our party parking lot . . And hotels that are cheap to expensive . . Plus the restaurant in the front looks like it has upgraded . . Best of both worlds!

Set up a pole?  Are there gonna be strippers?  Or do you want to set up a poll?

Now don't be so mean. I've seen Murray on a pole and he's quite talented! Kinda knobby knees though.

OH GOD!!!  now there is a vision I may never get out of my head!!!  AHHHHHHH!

I am open to whatever hotel makes the most sense.  I am all in for the parking lot party, the dinners whatever you guys have planed I am in!

I saw the pics from the diner at the museum from a few years ago and that looked awesome!
