Re: IRI Hotel Arrangements
 

Team 1114 stayed at the Hampton in on 82nd street, just down the road from the Hilton, for the second year in a row. I highly recommend this hotel to all teams.

- Close to the venue
- Free wi-fi
- Free hot breakfast (not continental)
- Indoor swimming pool
- Reasonable room rates $104/night for two double beds

My wife and I stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. The highway noise was very loud. Another of the mysteries of motel construction is why the windows and window coverings can't be insulated a little better.

One of the teams staying there had issues with the room configuration as mentioned about other hotels.

Wow... this is great input. I thought you guys all liked the Hilton (formerly the Omni). We need to listen better.

I'll second the skimpy continental breakfast, but at $49 a night, you really cant complain too much. As for the housekeeping, I was out of there by 7:45 (at the latest) each morning so I didn't have a problem with the housekeeping.

I noticed that it seemed like every other room had a clock. My room had a clock, and the guys down the hall from me had one, but it seemed like everyone else I talked to didn't. I found that rather odd.

I stayed at the Hilton in previous years and I really wasn't too impressed. As long as the Super 8 rate stays in place (well even its regular rate is cheaper than the Hilton special rate), I'll be staying there instead.

It provided the absolute needs for what I needed: a decent bed and a shower.

I've had a good experience at the Super 8 for the past 2 years after having stayed in the Omni/Hilton the previous years. For the cheap price I can't complain and all I really need is somewhere to sleep and shower.

I'm pretty sure we had a clock in our room, but since I use my cell phone for an alarm clock one wasn't necessary. The one thing I did notice was that the one night when I wanted to watch TV I couldn't find the remote control.

Re: IRI Hotel Arrangements
 

yea my boyfriend and i both used our cell phones for alarms but it just seemed odd to me that they didn't have a clock because i guess that's something i always thought a hotel would have. but we made due just fine and still always made it to iri on time. :D
