Just booked my hotel room for Carlisle this year! Anyone else going?

Nope, not this year.

I'm staying at the Microtell Inn in Enola this year. It's a bit cheaper then the Ramada has been.

Just booked the ramada for 79 a night

Really, Jason? They came down a lot then. You almost gotta wonder why it's so much cheaper. Did you register direct with that hotel or did you use something like Expedia?

 

[generaljmwlee]

Hotels.com just like last year. Saw the price and jumped on it!

 

[generaljmwlee]

Hope others are staying in the same hotel don't want to be grilling all by my self!

Jason, we are going again this year but will be staying at another hotel. That place has done nothing but go down hill after the forieners took over. We might do a drive through one night to say hi to everyone.

I sure want to, but I'm not holding my breath. Been a rough winter, and our oldest is getting married in August, so I'm playing it by ear.

My room is reserved, I hope i can do it financially though. This winter has absolutely destroyed me. And its not over yet. We'll see.

 

[Basketcase]

I feel your pain and it ain't over yet....

 

[george68hemirr]

Do your "shopping" there and then reserve by either calling or by the hotel's web site. I've found that the sites like hotels.com aren't all that reliable for getting everything correct. When you check in and complain... they will do absolutely nothing to correct it. You also may not be able to cancel your reservation.

Prices are the same.... It's just easier to compare prices and check availability, but in the long run, you'll come out way ahead booking your room directly. If for some reason it is cheaper... Tell the hotel! They will match the price!

they do show whether or not the room is cancellable(is that a word?) or not. Your probably right that dealing with them directly is better, but its nice to see every option layed out for you on one page.

I used Hotels.com one year for the Nationals in Ohio. No record of the resv. Wound up staying 50 miles out. Never again.

Maybe book with them and call the hotel to confirm reservation?
