2011 Carlisle Hotel Thread!! NEW RESERVATION MADE!

[Jamie]

I am going and will need a room.

[Jamie]

 I just called to set up a room and they did not have any reserved for jeff or cc.com . The manager will call me back in the morning as I am about to hit the hay now.

[ViperMan]

Okay I just called them - she said it's in the system as "tentative" because he had to confirm the price that someone else gave me.  She said to give them until tomorrow to get everything all straightened out.

[ViperMan]

Okay - ViperMan gets screwed...

I was contacted back at lunch time today and told that my original rate was quoted by accident for the month of June - that the rate for July was $30 more per-night.  I told him that for $10 more a night I could get us rooms at the Courtyard Mariott - which he can probably just about see from the lobby windows.  He said there was nothing he could do...

So I'm back to the drawing board.  Any ideas?  'Cause I've called all the good places in the area...

$30 will not break anybody`s retirement fund! just keep it ,as rooms will be swallowed up the closer the event comes anyway.I`m in.

I'll go with what ever the majority want.  The extra $90 ( 3 nights) would be better in my pocket but no biggie.

If it is the same price as the really nice place . . . I say change.      Pretty sh!tty the way that went down IMO.       If the courtyard is a better place for the same money  . . . that has my vote.

[brads70]

I vote for anywhere I can do a 50 to 150 pull to the fairgrounds 

     You gotta take me for a ride in that Monster!

Okay - reservations have been made AGAIN.

We have a block of 10 rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott Harrisburg West / Mechanicsburg.

Phone number is 717-766-9006 - rooms reserved under the name Cuda-Challenger-dot-Com

Rate is $129 a night - and I have that in WRITING...

Cut-Off for reserving is 6/7/11 - so don't wait past then to book your room. 

Only single bed rooms are available - I'm terribly sorry for this inconvenience, but this was the case at just about everywhere I called.  THEY DO however have pull-out sofas that they will put fresh linens on ahead of time if you simply request it upon reserving your room.

If you really need double beds, I'd suggest calling the Comfort Inn Capital City (yes their the snakes who upped the price on me, but at least they have double beds and are literally HALF a mile from the Courtyard.

This hotel is RIGHT off of Route 15 in Harrisburg.  VERY easy to get to, nice area, quiet dead-end street.  I'll post better directions later when I have more time.  Please note that if you're staying for Sunday, I only booked the rooms through Sunday at noon - you can stay for half-rate until 4 on Sunday, or simply add another night to your reservation.  Rooms are booked to start on Thursday night.

I just want to say that I'm very sorry for not securing the price or even necessarily the options that most had hoped for.  I didn't start on this as soon as I should have.  If given the opportunity, I'll work a little harder next year!  (I do think though that hotels in this area are just overpriced.  I'm staying THIS weekend in a Hyatt Regency hotel in WASHINGTON D.C. for $99 a night, and it's Cherry Blossom Festival in D.C.!!!)

I will post more details when I return next week.  Thank you for your patience, guys.  Can't wait to see everyone.

Any objection to a newbie jumping in on this?  Or is this for the established members of the board?
