For Funfest this year special rates have been procurred for 30 rooms for C3VR folks at the Days Inn 1205 N. keller Drive Effingham, Il. In order to be eligble for the reduced rate of $79.99 a night you must stay Thurs - Sun (3 nights).

Qualifying rooms are: single queen, double queen, single king.

Evening meals will be provided on Thurs. Fri, & Sat.

If you choose to stay Fri - Sun (2 nights) reduced rates negotiated will be $114.99.

You may reserve a room by contacting the hotel manager (John) direct on his cell phone @ 1-217-663-6448. Please tell them you are with the C3VR Corvette Group.

I would like for you to reply to this thread when reservations are made so that I can keep track of those rooms available. If we don't utilize all of the rooms I will make them available to other Corvette groups.

Thanks for your help!                                                              Tux...

Tux,
Hi.  It's me Karen.  Mitch wanted me to tell you what happened when we made our reservations for Effingham about 2 weeks  ago.  I called Days Inn and they were hesitant to give me the  reservations at  the agreed price.  The manager (John) told me that the manager we dealt with last September wasn't there anymore, he was.  He could give me a room for two nights, not three.  He told me "I'm not  saying you're lying about the price, but I'll get back to you on that"  They didn't and I called them back.  He told me he was also manager of the Rodeway Hotel right across the parking lot and that he could give  me three nights for the price of $79.99.  He said he only had about  6  rooms in C3VR at Days Inn but 30 available rooms at Rodeway.  So to make a long story  
short, we are  reserved at Rodeway.

Karen thank you for letting me know. I called and spoke with John today about this.He was unaware of any agreement that we had made last year with his brother.

I informed him of the the written agreement that I have with their representative for Funfest and the 2011 Gathering.

He is going to check on this and get back with me. If he does'nt then I will continue to call them until I get some answers. I will post them here and keep folks informed.

Thanks again for following thru with Mitch's advice. You have a smart man there. (You musta trained him rite!)

I spoke with the Days Inn group sales representative and he sent me this information:

"I spoke to John at the Days Inn and after closer inspection he does have your groups rooms. Several people have already claimed some but he does have them. Please give him a call if you need further information.

Thank you,

Tom Parker"

Hopefully that will help clear everything up. I will also give the Hotel another call yet this week and talk with Priscilla just to make sure.

LOL....

Frank it is always something. But it is no big deal.

I like Comfort Suites and have stayed ther for 13 years. But, I couldn't work out a deal with them.

I have 15 rooms for May 2011 at $59.00 a night (evening meals included).

This will be my last hurrah for a trip to Mid America so someone else will have the oppertunity to step up to the plate in the years to come.....

I called to check on how many of the 30 rooms I have reserved are taken and Priscilla told me 11. 6 for the 3 day stay and 5 for the 2 day stay.

If your on the fence with going I would hope that you would go ahead and make your reservation now.

I will be turning any remaining rooms to the folks at Mid America. I will set a date for this to happen in the next few days.

I appologize for any previous confusion with the reservation process. This was due to the former management and the lack of their record keeping.

If you call and ask for Priscilla she will take good care of you. She was present when we set down during our 1st meeting concerning reservations for both Funfest 2010 qnd the 2011 Gathering.

Concerning the Gathering the contract had no date for reservations in it when drawn up. It was an open reservation for our group from 10/2011 until 9/2011, This was the reason why the didn't show a blocked set of dates for the C3VR Registry group.

I have blocked the dates now and Priscilla is ready to take your calls.

I hope this clears up any confusion. If you have any questions, problems or concerns please send me a PM and I will fix ya up.....

I have updated the original post to reflect a new calling contact:

John 1-217-663-6448

There is a new established cut off date that you have available to make room reservations:

8-26-2010

I would still like to know if you make a reservation so that I may keep a record. You may do so by a reply to this post.

As before if you have any trouble in making a reservation please let me know. (Just send me a PM)

So far I am batting 100% in being able to correct the opertunities that have become available.
