If this is going to be the Party Hotel, I might have to stay elsewhere. I can't have my parents yelling at you all to keep it down at 3 in the morning. :wink:

Being a hotel on a college campus, I'm guessing the staff either has a great handle on rowdiness or really doesn't give a shit.

:hmm:









Doesn't give a shit. :up:
 
I find that I am on such a high after a U2 concert, that I need to do something fun!!:hyper: So many of us are going to be there, it would be great to celebrate together! If it stays the closer, could you imagine the celebrating we would need to do?:shifty::shifty::shifty:
 
I am.:D

I've already booked three nights at the nearby Radisson on Washington Ave just in case the Days Inn sells out faster than the Montreal shows.:shifty:
 
HBK..wow you are doing a lot of shows! Hopefully I will see you in Toronto. Did you get the Renaissance in TO?:hmm:

Yes, I did.:) But here's the thing-

I initially reserved one of those rooms that face the inside of the stadium- for $400 CAD per night!:ohmy:

I first thought to myself "Maybe I could catch a glimpse of the CLAW from my hotel room before they put the drapes up".:hmm:

But today the Renaissance called me and told me that the drapes will up the ENTIRE weekend and long after I check out.:doh:

Now I have to change my reservation to get a "cheaper" rate, which most likely will be $300 CAD per night.:sigh:

But hopefully, I can get a room on the same floor with all you TO-bound Blue Crackers.:applaud:

(BTW, I still need a GA for Anaheim 2.;))
 
We got the $209 rate before they realized what was happening. At least the hotel called you to let you know. That really sucks though!:angry: I am sure we will see you there!! I will post in here as soon as I can make reservations for the Days Inn. I am almost at the point of OCD about this now!:lol:
 
Ok, so I want to hurl right now. I go onto Daysinn.com, and the dates finally pop up. I am on right at midnight. The hotel comes up saying that there are no rooms available!:angry: So I call the 800 number, and they say that it isn't showing as sold out in they system, just that the prices are not in the system yet. I phone the hotel directly, and some stoner guy answers. He says he doesn't know how to check prices...Hellooooooooooooo, you work at a hotel buddy!!!!!!! So now he recommends that I phone the sales department tomorrow. This stinks of a MAJOR price hike!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!:gah::gah::gah::panic::panic::panic::banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
They're going to catch me in their trap. I need to be close so I can carry my stuff back to the room from the line, so I'll pay for that convenience.

I hate that :fist:
 
I tried to go to bed, but I can't sleep!!! What if the hotel is already booked by some big group or something! :angry: I hate this! Damn Days Inn!:gah:
They have the rate for the 22 at $129. WTF!!!

K...I feel better now!:wink:
 
Val, worst case scenario, we get a hotel further out, and you can put your things in my trunk. We are driving there!:hug:
 
I'll be driving too, if anyone needs to borrow a trunk. Hell, I could probably take a couple people back to their hotel if you're ending up staying downtown or somewhere else.
 
I am so happy right now. I called the Days Inn and asked to speak to someone in sales. The rates for that night are not available yet, but if you call, they will put yu on a waiting list, and then call you when the rates are available. The person said that there are only about 20 on the waiting list so far!! What a relief!:hyper::hyper::hyper:
 
It might not be a bad plan (like the other smart folks here have done) to make a reservation at the Radisson, too, just in case the Days Inn falls through.

Those really are the only 2 hotels that are walking distance.

I checked the rates for the Radisson, and I was not impressed. If I can't get the convenience of having easy access to my hotel with my GA things, then there really isn't much point. I don't want to be walking 10 minutes to put my GA things away. If that is what it comes down to, I will stay further away, and drive to the stadium. At least that way I have my trunk to stash things in quickly. :wink: I will not be devastated if I am not up really close for this one.
 
sucks about the rates. but that's what the hotels do when something big comes to town :down:
 
Just called the Days Inn and got on the waiting list :D

I love how I didn't even have to say the dates I needed. I just said I'm trying to book a room for July of next summer and I was told there was a waiting list for the dates I need, and the girl was like "Oh you need for the U2 weekend right??" :lol:
She said I should be getting a call in a few weeks when the dates open up.
 
Kristen, did you tell her you want to book for the Friday and the Saturday? She was great on the phone this morning! I am sure she will be getting many calls from Interferencers today!:lol:

I am glad you got on the waiting list too!:hug:
