Dayton hotels/motels

Hi everyone!
Our camping idea fell apart at the last minute and we now have 3 adults looking for some sort of hotel/motel accommodations for the Dayton Hamvention.
Just wondering if anyone has any cancellations or something.
Please contact me off list.

Any other hotel suggestions are welcome as I'm totally unfamiliar with that area.

Thanks!

Try any of the online hotel bookers, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline etc.
There's plenty of rooms in Dayton in the $50 to $80 range. It's not like it
was 30 years ago when they'd sell out in February.

Ok. Found a room. 3 blocks from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, where I'll be attending the Contest University thing.
Worked out ok.

I must be doing something wrong, because my search didn't show there
being plenty of rooms in the $50-$80 range:

Not necessarily.

Several weeks ago a friend "found" a $100/night room at the Crowne Plaza
via one of these online sites. Until he tried to book it, and it was not
available.

Good luck,

It depends on how far out you are willing to stay. Go to Centerville,
Kettering, Beavercreek, or Troy, and you can find rooms with no
reservation. You may have a 15-20 minute drive to the Arena, but that
does not seem too far to me, most guys commute longer than that to work
in many cases. I never make a reservation, just go. It is another
story if you want to stay within a block of Hara Arena.

Just MY take.

Re: Dayton hotels/motels

Phil,

My choice for parking at Dayton is to park at Salem Mall (free) and take
the bus to Hara arena - bus tickets for the entire event are $8 per
person and can be purchased at the parking lot.

There is parking near Hara arena for those who would not mind paying a
higher price. I recall the rates are around $10 per day.

Re: Dayton hotels/motels

Wow... $10/day is high?

Come to Toronto. You can easily pay that per hour in the core of the city.

Glad you found your rooms. Some of my Chicago buddies stay in
Miamisburg, about 10 miies S of Dayton, where I worked for Drake in the
60's.

K3LR, who runs Contest University (CTU), told me that he buys the entire
Crowne Plaza for his attendees. That's not quite true -- the Hamvention
people buy some rooms, and I have one of them. The Crowne Plaza is
significant, because that's where the various dinners (with really lousy
food) are held, and more important, where CTU and the many DX and
Contesting Club suites are located. Those suites run well into the early
hours, and are one of the major reasons I go to Dayton.

BTW -- I still have a 2-bed room in the Crowne Plaza available to share.
