Lodging for RenDezvous 2010- Scarborough Faire, Waxahachie, TX

[Blue66669]

Hey all! We're about 7 or so months out, so I wanted to go ahead and post lodging info for the area. Hotels will be in the first post, with info about local campgrounds and RV parks following. We were able to secure a block of rooms at the Super 8 hotel, which is about 2 miles from the faire. It is where most of us stay when we attend. It's clean, fairly priced, and used to Rennies!

Rates for the Super 8 for the weekend is 75.00 per night for a double, and 65.00 per night for a single. They don't have issues with ppl sharing rooms either. It's definitely more economical if you can find roomies! If this is the hotel that you'd like to choose, please PM me so that I can give you the contact information. Also, there's a Best Western next door that is pretty awesome as well. So, if Super 8 isn't your thing, BW may be better for you (and the breakfast is GREAT- they actually have a "build your own waffle" station).

Ok! So here's the list!!!

(Um, hey, do me a solid if you don't mind. When you book your hotel, please let us know where you're staying, so that we can have a hotel master list! Thanks!)

I hope no one minds if I add a hotel.  It is brandy-spankin' new, as it wasn't even finished at the end of the 2009 season, so I'm making no claims on its quality.

I just went on www.kayak.com and put in Waxahachie for April 23rd for 3 nights, and the price came up $54 for a double.

[Blue66669]

Hmmmm, I'll call them and find out...

*update*

I just called the hotel, and they're talking to management about meeting the price of 55 for single bed, and 65 for double beds. I'll make any changes as soon as I have more info, but I'm sure that this should go through.

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Thank you, Blue, for doing this!  

The Buchanans have reservations at Super 8 for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.  Yes!

If this might help anyone:

I made our reservations for Super 8 through the hotel's website.  You have to put in a credit card, but the card is not charged, and you have until 6 p.m. on the day of arrival to cancel before they charge the card.

I made the reservations so it wouldn't be sold out if we waited.  However, April is a long way away, and things could change about us being able to attend, so I liked the peace of mind by booking it with the Super 8 website instead of Expedia, Priceline, or Travelocity, which would either be nonrefundable or have cancellation penalties.

We plan to be there, and at least our hotel is taken care of.  Now how we're getting there is the next thing to work on!   

[Blue66669]

OIY THERE MODS!!! We can has sticky??? 

So, please ask for the "Clan McLotofus" block when you call, and you'll get the rate of 55/single and 65/double. Thanks much!

How far ahead of time should we book if we want to stay at the super 8? I'm sure Greg and I will stay there or best western, i dont wanna get stuck staying an hour away...

[Blue66669]

I personally freak out and plan way ahead of time. You can reserve now, if you wish.
