    Question Are you interested in staying @ our mv 9 hotel for carlisle?

    The Central Hotel And Conference Center was so impressed with our group during MV 9 that the rooms Manager has offered us group rates for Carlisle in June. He will set aside a block of rooms for us at these rates:

    Standard Room = $99.95

    Suites = $110


    Please post up your interest and indicate your room preference including type of bed ( King or 2 Queens ) and complete the poll on the home page. Thanks!

    Not a bad idea? It is only 25 miles to Carlisle from the hotel.

    We know the Hotel is a good place and there are places to eat around it.

    +1 Places to eat IN it too. And they have karaoke. I will ask for reserved parking out in that East lot for our cars. Of course breakfast is included.

    Mr. Man and I know a "back" way to the fairgrounds that might cut some miles off the trip.

    Think that I will stick with the convenience of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Carlisle. 27 miles and 35 minutes will be nearly 45-60 minutes in Harrisburg rush traffic going to and from the Fairgrounds.

    Route from Harrisburg uses exit 57 off I-81 S instead of exit 52. Not sure if it cuts any mileage off the trip but it does use some back county roads that are twisty and hilly. We would enter the show grounds via the lollipop.

    We ran into very little traffic last year until we were at the grounds entrance so traffic wasn't a real problem, not saying it couldn't be but last year it wasn't. The previous year we sat in traffic for almost an hour trying to get to the show field when we left the Hampton Inn. We even used Calvary Rd but it took forever to get to the lollipop.

    We figure we will save about $100 or so by staying in Harrisburg over the two nights.

    Agreed, I like my 10-15 minute ride back to my hotel, a hour drive in traffic in the morning and the afternoon will be unbearable.

    While it will take longer than 15 minutes to get to the hotel, it is a weekend. Justin actually lives in Carlisle and drives it daily. He said it is not a bad commute. That said, it won't appeal to everyone.

    Its a major car show weekend. That equals traffic, and it takes no more then 15 minutes to the hotel Carlisle from the fairgrounds.

    Yeah maybe if you leave for the show field at 5am. We sat in traffic waiting to just get under the Turnpike bridge for at least 20 minutes two years ago. Like Ms. D said it's not for everyone. Me personally I'm going to save some $$$$.

    Looks like it adds 2 miles to the trip and puts you on 30-45 MPH roads longer adding to your travel time. Not sure how this will help you avoid traffic on Route 11 or into the Fairgrounds.

    If you are planning to bring both the Black and the Silver MM, you'll put about $40-50 of that savings back into the gas tank. This is basically the same discussion that we had last year about the savings of staying in Maugansville. Its a time, money, and gas discussion.

    There are many reasons to stay at the BW Premiere Central hotel 'cause it was a real nice hotel. But justifying staying there from a $$$$ and time perspective doesn't make sense. JMHO.

    Baloney! The whole point is that we WON'T be on that jam packed Rte 11 at all. We will avoid all Carlisle gridlock and be swigging Skull Splitters in the Pub while you lot sit in the parking lot aka Rte 11.....

    Look guys, of course feel free to stay anywhere you like. We don't like the Carlisle Hotel, the Hampton is fine except for Rte. 11 traffic and the price. Eric and I are willing to try another option and see how it goes. We liked the Central Hotel and when Justin offered a better deal than we've ever gotten in Carlisle it seems worth trying. Not twisting any arms here. Just offering another option. I'll ask for maybe 10 rooms and first come first served. If it's only us and Derek that's OK too. I bet I can get him to throw me the keys to his SC Blue again! Just my 2 cents.
