Lodging in Eureka Springs (updated as we go).

[DredheadV2.0]

Updated:

Due to an annoying bit of ignorance on my part, I booked us in at a hotel which would have been great 4 years ago when the Meet was on Wednesday and Thursday, completely forgetting the days had been changed to Tuesday and Wednesday.  As it's turning out, I'm not finding any hotels in the immediate area which have enough rooms on Tuesday/Wednesday, but in the immediate vicinity (that area is nothing but hotels, with a pancake house, gas station, and liquor store mixed in) there are several with enough rooms combined to accommodate all of us.

Kara at the Swiss Holiday recommends Land of Nod (Victorian elegance), Pine Top Lodge (100% non-smoking rooms), and another I already mentioned, the Eureka Suites.  There's always Traveler's if we get really desperate.


Old message:

I have those rooms on hold now - 7 doubles and 5 single kings on Tuesday the 10th, and another 10 doubles opening on the 11th.  The hold is until May 1st, so we have some time for last-minute joiners to add on.  If response is good, there are another 5 rooms available on the 11th.

The group reservations is under "Sport Touring Net," and the toll-free number is 888.582.2220.  Kara is the GM who set up the reservation, but anyone can help you if you reference the group name.  The block covers Tuesday with a potential checkout on Friday, though I know many will be leaving Thursday.  Make sure you specify check out date (der) so they don't assume you're staying til friday if you're not.

The first 12 rooms are all in the same building (which will be completely ours), and will constitute the main hangout for the event.  No doubt everyone will hold to traditions and gather directly in front of my window for the loudest, most drunken conversation.  Mac will no doubt be on the other side of the wall from me.  It'll be just like old times.

See ya there!

Edit - please ask for Kara so she can keep it all straight.  I let her know initially that some will be coming in on Tuesday, and should get the rooms in the back first off.  The ones coming in on Wednesday should be given the rooms in the front building.  Half the people will stay til Thursday and half leaving on Friday overall.  She's got it straight, but maybe the others don't so much.

Another Edit - if there are no more rooms on Tuesday, check the end of the thread for alternates.

Is't the swiss inn the one directly across the street from the travelers inn?

[DredheadV2.0]

There's another Swiss place - that one is a block away from Travelers according to Gmaps

[DredheadV2.0]

I take it back - yeah, Mac - it's the place across from Travelers.  My mistake.

Looking at the TripAdvisor reviews between the two, Swiss Holiday Resort gets better marks, and the best review comes from a motorcycle group.

[maddjack]

Looks like a good pick Dred

[Mac]

Their parking lot is nicer as well.

[stefrrr]

Sounds good! Thanks for all your work!

Should we be reserving the rooms?  Sorry, I just noticed this thread too.

Well maybe, but I kinda want to wait for the code..... or something like that
 
 ....and maybe get a break on the room, price wise

[DredheadV2.0]

I'm trying to get Kara back on the phone to confirm, ask her if all y'all should call her directly, etc.

At this point, we have like a $69 per double room rate...  I'll write it all down when I call her today.  

After that...  git callin!  

[DredheadV2.0]

See updates in the first post of the thread

thanks

[DredheadV2.0]

Also, my single was $59 per night.  I'm still waiting for her to send me the confirmed room rates so I can have it all in writing for youse guys.

[DredheadV2.0]

Per the latest info, please ask for Kara herself so she can keep it all straight until she can brief the other reservation folks.

thanks!

[twist]

Room reserved.  Thanks Allen!

[DredheadV2.0]

No prob, Gary!  It'll be cool to see you again.  

Funny thing is, I keep getting reservation confirmations sent to my email.  Four so far.  I dunno if all y'all's are coming to me, or if their computer just keeps sending mine over and over, coz the info is all exactly the same - king room, three nights.  I know Playininthestreet only wanted two nights, so that's why I'm wondering.

[bete]

OK, I,m in for 10-11-12.  Someone who's only needs one bed should call quick! she has one king with a Jacuzzis left.   bete..

[Scratch33]

Done!  Arriving the 10th; staying through the 12th.
