US Nationals 2011 Travel/Hotel arrangement thread

Riffz dropped out of our room for work-related reasons, as I've recently been notified.

This leaves room for another member of our awesome room.

Right now, it's me, my girlfriend, and Ryan Reese.

Anyone care to join? I'll provide you with 1 free litre of Orangina.

If anyone is going through Cleveland or Sandusky the Wednesday before, let me know. I'm on the tailend of a vacation with my family at that time. I'd need someone to pick me up and house me for Nats.

EDIT: Nevermind, I have found hosts. Thanks Christopher Olson!

There was some discussion at the Ohio Open that the Varsity Inn really isn't an ideal hotel for a US Nationals competition. Do we want to consider something else, or should we just stick with it?

I guess it's a motel, not a hotel; if I understand correctly, there is no lobby for us to hang out in. And while it's probably the closest place, it's still pretty far from the venue, and there are a couple of other hotels that are only a little farther away than the Varsity Inn. But none of them are as cheap - the Varsity Inn definitely wins on cost.

It is a motel moreso than a hotel, but still has amenities such as a pool and (very) small lobby. The hotel does wrap around a Bob Evans (similar to IHOP), open til 10pm, as well as Wendy's and Tim Horton's (open much later... I think TH is 24/7). These should be able to act as meeting places with the benefit of having midnight snacks. I'll be asking Bob Evans if they're willing to keep a section open for us and possibly stay open later.

Varsity Inn North (overflow location) has a slightly larger lobby, along with a business center and small conference room. But I'm not sure about nearby food, and it's farther, so I'd say VIS is more ideal. I did check prices for other hotels that would have larger lobbies (Holiday Inn, Hilton, etc), and they are all much farther away and cost 2-3x as much.
 
Considering my group has already set up a room, and I'm sure others have, I think the Varsity Inn should be what we stick with.

Changing at this point would just add too much confusion.
Also, the cheap costs are definitely a plus here. ;)

Well if Reese will sleep on the floor me and my girlfriend will join xP
 
Why can't I sleep with you :( ?!!?!?!

I have absolutely no problem with the floor, I'd actually prefer it if we are a full house.

Talk to statue, if you and your GF would be in our room, we would have 5.

Cost wise, I'd LOVE IT.
