WCR 2011 Lodging Style Poll
What type of lodging would you prefer?
Smaller style Motel Just big enough that we can take over the whole place. Maybe just on the edge of town. $75-100 We would have to commit and book VERY early to ensure rooms. But if done right we could "own" the place. [ 5 ] ** [10.00%]
Typical Chain hotel with big parking lot in high profile location. Lots of stuff within walking distance. $55-85 Late bookings ok lots of rooms. [ 25 ] ** [50.00%]
Lodge/RV park in the woods with Restaurant, Cabins, Camping, RV's. Maybe on a lake 30 to 45 mins outside of town. Costs anywhere from 15 for tents up to 110 for a cabin. Booking also would have to be early. Nice area for campfire at night. NO late booking for cabins or rooms. late booking for camping no problem. They can have us all camp in one area. [ 14 ] ** [28.00%]
Casino style with huge parking lot. $85-100 Book anytime tons of rooms. [ 6 ] ** [12.00%]

Hey everyone. I have volunteered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) to sort out the Lodging for 2011 WCR.
I have a few ideas
This is just for me to get an idea of what you guys want.
I still may play the politician and do what ever the hell I want, but your opinion will not fall on deaf ears.

I voted "Typical Chain hotel with big parking lot ..." but i don't care about "Lots of stuff within walking distance".
As long as my hotel room is within "falling distance" from our keg, i'm happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)


Trying to "take over" a small place only means that if we're running out of rooms, people will get scattered all over town.
Plus, small places have small parking lots ...


IMHO, the most important criteria should be a large parking lot, preferably away from the actual hotel (think back-lot) so we can party all night without other guests calling the cops on us 5 times a night.

I'm with Andy. As nice as it would be to own a place. There are to many who are on the fence about going with it being so far off. So many don't want to commit to a room yet. I'm good with whatever gives us our parking lot space (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Camp ground with cabins and RV hook up would be great for all out late night partiers. Bon Fires drinking. California allows me to tow double since my trailer is a 5th wheel. Not sure if Oregon does.

I guess I could settle for a hotel if I have to. We do need a big parking lot and an accomodating hotel owner.

Oregon semi's pull three trailers at a time. My guess would be you could double tow.

I really like the camping idea if the place has cabins for the non camper types. This year in Tahoe we spent late hours partying in the back parking lot. There is just not alot of places like that with chain hotels. A big camp fire will be nice too. If we do go this route, I'm willing to help SF Bay area people take gear up there in my trailer.

Camping would be fun, but I concur on the large parking lots idea. It's very nice with a large group of guys in old cars to have room for jackstands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
