As some of you have pointed out, the rooms at Red Roof are $89.99 per night for the weekend of Cat Jam.
The reason for this is there is a major event going on that weekend.
I have a 10 room block reserved for us, so when you call for reservations, ask for the Cat Jam block of rooms, they may be under my name (Karen Guest). They'll hold the block of rooms till June 27th. If you don't book by then, they can't guarantee the availability.
Rooms are a variety of 2 double beds, or 1 king size, smoking and non smoking.
Phone number is (330) 758-1999
This is the best we could get for pricing since the big event is going on. Sorry everyone. But as you all know, this hotel has been good to us the past several years.
**For future reference, Eric, you may want to call ahead and find out if there are any major things happening the weekend that you have planned for CJ, just in case it needs to be changed to prevent any issues...I'll leave that up to your discretion.
Thanks Karen, it's appreciated.
Don't forget, this year CJ is one week later...so that pretty much explains the price changes. I have no idea what the "big event" is this year. However, next year I think we should go back to the weekend before the last in July to avoid this.
As an option, I am currently waiting on a phone call about a group rate at a different hotel. It's the Microtel in Boardman. It is just up the street from where Red Roof is.
From their online site, it looks like their rooms will be about 1/2 the cost of RR.
As soon as I get a price, I'll let you all know.
If everyone is agreeable and the price is right, I'll book a block there instead.
With our luck, it's probably that Monster Truck show again! LOL
I forgot the time frame was different this year.....but I'm working on better rates as we speak....er, um...type. ;)
Karen, is this block of rooms at a lower price?
The reason I ask is because I've already got a room reserved and if the block is cheaper, I'll switch.
Ok, here is what I have:
Microtel is MUCH cheaper than RR.
They are giving us rooms at $54 per night for a double room.
1 of the rooms has 2 twin beds in it. The others have 2 double beds.
2 of the rooms are non smoking.
However, they only have a total of 5 rooms available for us.
They will be e-mailing me the reservation information and as soon as I have it, I'll get it to you. You will need a credit card to hold your room.
**I am keeping the block of rooms at RR also,
since we'll need more than 5 rooms total. **
so what is the deal with the rooms are we all planing on one hotel or are we staying ant differnt one's let me know so i can pay for my room in advance also we should only nee rooms for fri and sat and we all leave on sun or what please let me know
Ok, the number you have to call for the Microtel is (330) 758-1816.
Tell them that you want one of the rooms listed under "Cat Jam".
They should have 4 rooms available.
Double Rooms are $54.95 a night, single rooms are $44.95 a night.
Sorry there is such a shortage of rooms there. I got all of the rooms that I could for the block for us.
If you can't get a room at Microtel, call Red Roof as we have a block of rooms there also, and they too are listed as "Cat Jam". (Red Roof rooms are $89.99 a night)
sweet...... thank you
You're welcome
where is the micro in relation to red roof? is it that block of hotells like within site of the RR parking lot? im just wondering if its walking distance.
Yeah, that's exactly where it is. It's on South Avenue so from RRI, facing the street entrance (which is north), Microtel is northwest. Go through the empty parking lot across from RRI, through the field, and you're there. Not too far away.
i can deal with Microtels prices much more. i hope i can make it. thats my Birthday weekend. So there is a block of rooms at Microtel also?
Yes, there is a block of rooms at both the Red Roof and Microtel.
There is a hotel in my town, about 20 min's from youngstown. I can try to get some info for ya if you want. No clue on the prices though.
Nevermind that place, Mikey, it's 109 for a single and 129 for a double.
shiznit, I take it back. Sorry for th waste of good info
just wondering who is staying where.i want to be with the crowd and was wondering the hotel of choice this year.will,keven,karen,rick?and the others that were there last yr that i cant remember lol.
It's Ric but I don't want to start any thing. I'll be at the Red Roof
It's Kev

I'm already booked at Red Roof.
ok im sorry guys please forgive me.not the best at names but thanks for getting back to me.try not to beat me up yo bad when i show up lol
i made sure the day eric announced the dates that i got a reservation at the RRI... it's a lot easier to cancel a reservation than it is to make one at the last minute :)... i learned that lesson the hard way :nutkick:
i think im just gonna end up just sleeping in the car. at least the back seats not too small. :hick:
well i made a reservations at rri today.wha whooooo
FYI the Hampton Inn is booked.
RRI apparently still has rooms available because I just booked mine :D
EDIT: I ran across this site in my surfing. It lets you make road signs.
