[Emc-users] Hotel for EMC-Fest
Hi All, I was getting concerned about hotel reservations for the fest, so I started checking. The economy does not seem to have depressed the rates. Having at the Econo Inn and the Americas Best in past years, I decided to go slightly upscale. These two do offer the best rates and while they are nothing to brag about, they were acceptable. That is except for one thing, I needed workable internet access and neither passed the test when I stayed there. In checking around I was astonished to find that the Best Western was sold out during the time period, Choice says they only have one rather expensive room available, and the Holiday Inn wants almost $100 a night. My best result was with the Fairfield Inn (309-344-1911). They negotiated a rate of $69.99 per night for a room with two beds, two guests for a full weeks stay and provided a confirmed reservation number. When asked, they said they could offer the same rate to anyone coming to the CNC Workshop for the full week.

Steve, I plan on spending a week at the fest. My first year. Which weekend is better to be at the fest? Or what days are best to be at the fest?

The workshop officially runs from Monday to Sunday. Some of us show up the preceding Saturday evening, and start setting up. More setup Sunday, then things start rolling on Monday morning. The final Sunday is when things wind down, as people head for home. For example I usually load up Saturday night, and head out Sunday morning.
