WF-SE 15 Hotel Setup

I am setting up the Hotel rooms for March 27-29 for the Wagon Fest in Daytona.

**EDIT**

Best Western Plus
2620 W International Speedway Boulevard,
Daytona Beach,  FL,  32114,  United States
Phone: 386/258-6333

There are 12 rooms reserved for us: 3 King and 9 doubles. All rooms are $62.10 per night

Use discount code "Wagonfest" to get the negotiated rate

   

I would prefer the La Quinta, if at all possible, as it was pet friendly, and Best Western was not.

I also recall it was cheaper, too.

(Thread edited to stay on topic)

I'll be there, and I don't care which hotel we stay at. One room, one bed, non smoking please.

OK, I got back offers from 19 hotels. price ranging from $64 to $147.

The 3 hotels in question are:

Quality Inn (Third year) $76
Best Western (Last year) $69
Baymont (First year... 5 miles away from the track) $67

Still waiting on the La Quinta to respond.

ALL 4 places have an area to hang out and BBQ

The hotel we were at last year is going to be hard to beat. The patio / barbecue area was great and they were happy with us! The price is hard to heat. Yeah they don't take dogs but that's OK, Jake will stay at the kennel as he did last year.

That's my 2 cents.

We'll be coming

I am in. One attending. Non smoker.

Prefer not driving 5 miles.

I can get some real nice steaks. Someone bring a grill.

Yes, also prefer not driving 5 miles. Drunken afterparty shenanigans are a WF Florida tradition. Must remain close.

There is a nice side road at the motel we stayed at last year. Crazy burnouts from possibly inebriated wagoneers. Really convenient to the track, and had plenty of bacon with breakfast.

Will be coming - last year hotel was good--see you there ...Carol and Tom

just got a call from the manager at Best Western, the hotel from last year, and he said he will meet the price from last year. $62.10 plus tax. still no word from the LaQuinta.

How can you beat that, the place was great!

Tom

Thanks for doing the leg work Robert as I've been slammed. I'm in of course, will say one for now...
If they meet last year's price it's a no-brainer IMO. I understand Ray's doggie love, but...I never heard back from the LaQuinta last year (they had a nice pool, and the grassy area off the parking lot was good for the BBQ too....although no side road for Cory's tires).

lol I really hope the wagon can be done for burnouts on the side road, then. $62 is a really good rate.

How soon do we have to make reservations?

Let me call him back in the morning and confirm 10 rooms. I'll post here and let you know.

Somehow I see you (or at least your wagon) showing up at 3am Saturday ready to go..... At least that is what historically happens. LOL

Shhhhhhh. I HAVE A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD, SIR!

*stops buying food to order more parts*

Also - 1 room, 2 beds.

I'm a big maybe this year. I have a new job and I'll be right at the tail end of my 90 day probie period with them at Daytona time coupled with the fact that I have no idea if I still need a new motor in the wagon or not. Maybe I can rent one again.

Can we book room???? Thanks Tom W

I apologize. I completely forgot to call and confirm today. I have it on my schedule for early Tuesday.

I have 12 rooms blocked off. 9 doubles and 3 kings.

Ask for the group code "Wagonfest". $62.10 +tax per night.

Made reservation...Tom and carol will be there...

Booked for 27th and 28th

Now to slam together a t56 swap....

^ HEY, ME TOO, BUDDY!

YES!!!!!! that best western was great. i really enjoyed it. trying to recruit a bunch of the ATL INC wagon guys... see yall there!!!

room booked!!! King size bed baby!!

Original post updated with Hotel contact info.

Just got an email..... All King rooms have been taken!!

Talked to Lisa at the front desk and she said that if you ask NICELY.... she'll still put you in a king, if you need one.

I booked my room.

I am willing to cook, and I can bring the steaks if I know how many are going to show up. Who is bringing a grill?

Make sure you bring plenty of propane.

I just booked my room tonight. Maybe we can make it interesting this year and have no tornadoes or monsoon type rain during/after the show?!?

In all honestly I think the six and half hours we spent waiting for food was time well spent as I personally got to know a number of the participants a good bit better. Usually in the show everyone runs in different directions looking at all the eye candy parked on the show field.

But yeah, sunny skies and mild temps would be the bomb...

Just made reservations at the Best Western.

Tom

Tom, are you in Florida yet? And, bringing a wagon or the Fleetwood this year?

No, St. Simons Island GA, real close to FL. Won't have a wagon or Fleetwood......I know. They made it to NY and VA. Picked up a Lincoln Aviator, that will probably make it to FL. Bring your Caddy to NY this summer and I will bring mine.

Tom

Do we have an idea of how many people are coming?

Current count is 8 members that have PUBLICLY announced. I will call the hotel in the morning and see how many rooms have been reserved.

A friend of mine is coming as well. He has already signed up for his room. How many are bringing wives, etc.

I am coming solo. Is anyone wanting split a room for the two nights?

Still looking to see if anyone wants to split a room.
