**Official** Shatnerball 3 Hotel thread

[Mango]

So what hotel is everyone staying at? It's nice to stay centralized. Post here any info you have about it. :D




*Edit:

How bout this one: http://www.hamptoninnjolieti80.com/

[wyn1370]

why not do the red roof inn again. Unless there is going to be a discount rate offered somewhere.

[Mango]

Well the bathroom had roaches in it, they called security on us and they never even gave us fresh towels. There HAS to be a better place in the area.

[spantol]

I'm going to plug the local craphole again: http://www.manor-motel.com/ . Roach-free, and about five minutes from CPX, via I-55 to Arsenal Road. If there's any interest, I can give them a call and see what a block of rooms would run.



*Edit*

Ooh, but it's hard to argue with Hampton's Inn free high-speed internet access. :)

[Glickman]

now THATS a hotel ;)

and they allow pets, so i guess we can bring manboobs in a cat carrier, such as this : http://www.beauforthuis.nl/alex/imag/cat.jpg

only 2 minutes from the field too.

[Muzikman]

I will be staying at the Hampton Inn again....(As always). It's not too far from the field is right near most all the other hotels. I plan on getting in a day or two early to hit the Chicago scene a little so if anyone plans on being there around Wednesday let me know.

I'm totally down for that, I hope to do the same.

[kevdupuis]

Deb and I are booked at the Holiday Inn on 53 just north of I 80.

[digitard]

I'll probably get there Thursday night.

Friday gonna do the prereg goodness and then hitup the SHEDAQUARIUM in Chicago. I love that place, then take in some good CHicago dog goodness!

[Dayspring]

I've got several friends that live in Chicago, so I may try to get in early too.

Is there any talk of a factory tour for this one?

[Fred]

partay!

I didn't think redroof was that bad... but we didn't really... neglect our room like you guys did... :p

I'm impartial though, as long as it has a clean bathroom and is inexpensive.

[Mango]

LOL.. I was just talking to Titansu about that same subject. I said I have to be in the right state of mind just to remember how to make them.

[Muzikman]

Skip the keg...I wanna go back into the beer frig at that grocery store again:)

Well, if you arrive early to 'hit Chicago', I wouldn't stay out in Joliet when you first arrive. Long *** drive between Joliet and Chicago.

Its not that long of a drive, he's just being lazy. Its only an 45 minutes to an hour. Plus lodging is cheaper. ;)

dude that place was awesome!

:D

[The Frymarker]

Yeah where is everyone staying??? I'll be sure not to be there;)


No seriously, I'm attending, with my brother inlaw. I would like to be somewhere close and it can be moderately priced.

[Muzikman]

Heather, I'll be staying at the Hampton Inn which is about 10 or 15 mins from the field. There is also a redroof inn and a Motel 8 I think it was roight in the same area.

[The Frymarker]

Is it a nice? Does it have breakfast in the morning???

[Muzikman]

All Hampton's are decent places. I will say it's gonna be the nicest place in that area. And yes, it's got a free continental breakfast. I am very picky when it comes to hotels, but I will stay at any hampton inns.

[The Frymarker]

Cool than I'll probably be staying there :)

[Tina]

I've hitched my wagon to the Empress Hotel and Casino. Jacuzzi Suite! Gotta work out those paintball welts! :D

[oldsoldier]

Ugh...too far ahead for me to plan!! I hope it isnt all booked by the time I get back to the states...I would like to attend this! Although...if finances get close, this maybe one of my cuts...

[Mango]

C'maan bill, you gotta make it.

[Creative Mayhem]

C'maan bill, you gotta make it.

I agree... JUST DO IT!

Now, I need a bed or a piece of floor.... preferably a bed though ;)

[edweird]

im in the same boat that Oldsoldier is... but its by far safer from getting cut from the budget


who am I kidding I dont have a budget

[Muzikman]

Mayhem, if ya need it, I'll have an extra bed.

[Mike Smith]

I'm booked at the Manor Hotel. Hope it's an OK place, Spantol.

If not, how much is the high spped internet hotel? The Manor is $42 for Saturday and $35 for Sunday.

I'll be booking my Amtrak trip at the end of May when my additional points kick in!

[Cyberious]

Cool than I'll probably be staying there :)


I'll be at the Hampton Inn too. I arrive Saturday. The price is 99 for Sat to Sun and 79 for Sun to Mon. They do have a complimentary Breakfast Bar and I believe complimentary high speed access. Because of all the business travel I do I can use some of my points to stay for free... YEAH!!!!

[govnamac]

Is there a Marriott in the area? I have points with them.

[Gambit1106]

There is a Fairfield Inn, which is affiliated with Mariott.

I'll be staying there if I go. It will be a few paychecks before I can be sure. Airfare ain't that bad though.

[MXS]

Be advised:
There is an AMA convention in Joliet the weekend of the event. Rooms are going fast. If you know you are going to the event, I suggest you get a room booked ASAP or plan on camping at the venue.
There are a couple of RV parks in Joliet, as well.

[FuriousD]

Hi everybody, Ok Im a newbie... but me and Michael will be staying at the Hampton Inn, even though we're from Chi-Town, we dont feel like driving...we're lazy :p PS: Hamptons are nice and clean hotels if youre still thinking about where to stay. Just a tip.

[epterry]

My father and I are booked at the Hampton in.

[LMLAPSANSKY]

Yeah where is everyone staying??? I'll be sure not to be there;)


No seriously, I'm attending, with my brother inlaw. I would like to be somewhere close and it can be moderately priced.

If you want some nice lodging close to the expressway stay in Tinley Park on Harlem Ave. There ae some cool resturants and three Sushi places.

[Trina]

Hey guys!

Doobie and I will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express! I guess we will be frequenting the Hampton if that's where everyone else will be :D The Express offered a much better military rate and since we'll be bringing four of Doobie's guys from the 101st....plus cont b-fast and an outdoor heated pool...yaaa!!


Anywhoo, can't wait to see ya all!! :bounce:

[Concrete]

Ill be at the Hampton Sat night - and I want to party :headbang:

[markoger]

i just booked a room at the red roof inn and the price was $46 a night, not too bad at all. especially a week before the game. i can't wait to go i want to leave now........ :shooting:

Well actually they (Hamptons) don't usually have bars. If I know those guys from the Screamin Eagles they'll want to toss back some brain grenades. Might want to let them know to bring their Coins...otherwise they may be buyin. Trina if you and Doobie find me the first round is on me. Send me a PM and I'll give you my cell phone number. Airborne All The Way!!!!

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

sorry but i got some bad news...
IM STAYING AT THE HAMPTON!
*evil smile*

[Trina]

Wow....everyone is staying at the wrong hotel...hahah! ;)

Thanks Cyberious! I'm sure it won't be hard to find Doobie and I! Just look for the rest of the Wang Force and you will find us. We plan to get there around 5:00 or 6:00 on Friday.
