Re: Who is staying where?

Skunk Works (1983) is at the Ramada next to the Dome.
We are happy to see our friends from 987 will be there too.

There isn't? I haven't been able to go in previous years, but every year it has been against the Pirates, our "hometown" team. Very sad news :(

In other news, MARS 2614 will be staying at the Mariott at the Airport

Even more curious is the annulus between about 3 and 13 miles (by road) from the venue where it appears that no one is staying. I suppose that once you stay far enough away to need a bus, you may as well go out in the 'burbs and get a better room rate.

In our case as we began looking at farther and farther venues we were encountering public transit times of an hour or more, so we decided to rent vehicles for transport. Once that decision was made we realized that allowing for 30 minutes of driving opens up a much larger region than looking for accommodations within the same timeframe reachable by public transit.

We initially looked at renting a 5000 square foot mansion on a riverfront. I am still a little disappointed that one didn't work out :P

Anyone else at this hotel?

836 is also at the same hotel. We have a bus taking us to the dome, we might have some available seats, depending on how many you have with you. I can check and see.

At least on the east side, East St. Louis isn't a great neighborhood. I don't know enough about the west side but it might not be that cheap there (per your reasoning).

Yep, Drury Inn & Suites was able to "fix" their mistake, and got us into the Convention Center Location, which is across the street from the Dome. Even better than where we were before at Union Station!

Hope we have some teams in our hotel, and if not I know we will have lots of FIRST volunteer and peeps!

Glad I looked up information on this hotel. It's just reaffirmed my reason to NEVER stay at a Marriott. $9.95 A DAY for internet($14.95 a day for high speed internet)? Forget that!

1540's at the Crowne Plaza by the Arch - too bad there's construction on the Arch grounds right now. Should still be a good view!
