I just received the following from Holiday Inn:

IHG call centers infuriate me. I think they moved them to India or someplace. I had to move my KOI and Nats reservations to non-IHG hotels to get away from the godawful call center for reservations.

I always call a hotel to get a reservation, I don't trust the remote sites. That hotel is nice and reasonable. But 3 mile hill was an eye opener.

as this will be my first ever Brodaks, what are some of the hotels in that area?

thanks much

I will be staying at one of the campgrounds this year. Had it with the hotel. Maybe the Firehouse RV Campground in Jefferson, PA.
Not too far from Brodaks. About $100.00 for the week, with electric, and the bath house is nice and clean.
I am at the Fly-in all day, so just need a place to sleep. The people that run this campground are super friendly.
No call center to deal with. I call and tell the date I will arrive and the guy on the phone says "yea we have room for you"
I asked him where to send the deposit money and he says "just show up". Larry

I always call the hotel direct also. This year I reserved at the Super 8 in Uniontown - looked like the most competitive rate for the area

Yes, They are! I'm from that area and my brother still lives in Washington, PA.
That whole area is booming. Get your rooms NOW!

Camping right across the street is always free.Who needs electricity when you can fly from dawn til dusk and tell tall tales of flying machines past after dark.The best way to a great Brodak experience!!!!Besides,ya can't watch Danny fly the jet,or the giant Slob,or..............if you're sitting in a motel room.

Here's what John sent me today...

The Holliday Inn in Uniontown is now called Park Inn by Radisson. We are still using it as our hotel in Uniontown their phone number is 724-437-2816
Sounds like an upgrade....

Have fun!

Paul Smith · « **Reply #15 on:** February 02, 2015, 05:04:04 PM »

Fraking is a form of energy production the gives good jobs to Americans.

We get domestic fuel and Americans make big money and pay big taxes. Win win win.
The downside is that these American workers stay at the Holiday Inn on expense account and they don't care what the rooms cost. So somebody that comes to town for five days and hopes to get a bargain room price is on thin ice to say the least.

Good news - gasoline prices are down from $4 to $2.
Bad news - hotels are not cheap.

now is it going to be the 15th thru the 20th or (as listed in the Jan Magazine) the 16th thru the 20th?

thanks

Paul Smith · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2015, 03:51:14 PM »

It all depends on how much practice flying you want and how long you plan to party at the end.

Basically it's Tuesday through Saturday. I bagged a room at the Super 8 in Uniontown. Six Mexican dinners in a row is OK with me.

Had some difficulty getting my usual rooms and had to search. Managed to get room nearby, but I recommend you don't wait to book.

If I get to go again, I will probably stay in Waynesburg again. They had a lot more motels than listed and new ones being built.

I noticed someone mentioned Brodak's will be done again next year too. Heck! I thought this was the last year! What I get for "tinking"!

2015 will be the 19th year.
John wants to go out on a positive note, and figures 20 is plenty.
It has grown to the largest control line event on the Planet.

I imagine that 2016 will see a lot of folks that have attended in the past coming to reminisce .....

I've only missed one and hope to make the last two.

Carl Cisneros · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2015, 08:10:05 AM »

Just made my reservations this morning at the Super 8 in Uniontown for the entire week.

RC Storick · « **Reply #26 on:** February 06, 2015, 09:36:14 AM »

It is by far the biggest and best contest I have been to in recent years. Its bigger than the NATS, more friendly and cooler temps by far.

Just made reservations at the Radisson. Same people still working there as last year when it was a Holiday Inn. Nice Hotel but a bit pricey.

JoeJust · « **Reply #29 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:31:50 PM »

One of the few places where my wife can eat what with her health problems, is there any Chinese Buffett nearby The Fly-In? I'm aware of the Chinese restaurant as one drives into Carmichael, but we could use directions to a good Chinese Buffett. A PM or two would be just fine.
