Hotels

[ravic]

So now that my working faire is over, I need to start planning to visit my playing faire. I've camped at Bardwell in the past but the new wife isn't a camper & I have to find a hotel in the Scarby area. Any recommendations Yea or Nay regarding the local inns? Willing to go as far as Ennis or Red Oak/DeSoto if need be.

Super 8 in waxahachie is my hotel of choice.
Decent price and a pool on those hot weekends just cant be beat.

*and the room is big enough for the rum to hide during the day lol*

i'm gonna contact a friend/customer of mine that is a hotel manager to see if they have a "scarborough discount"

The Best Western is one of the newer ones. I've never stayed in this one, but I've never been disappointed by a Best Western.

Ok, I'm looking for a nearby 4 star, something with Suites available for my birthday invasion of Scarby. Any ideas?

Hapton Inn & Suites Waxahachie is the closest you are going to get.

Ok, is that a decent one??? I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay 150/night for a hotel that sucks LOL...

Other than the suite part, you could probably get the same thing in a hotel room at the Super 8.

Sorry, nearest 4-star would be in DFW. Waxahachie is kinda like Conroe, only less so.

That hampton inn is very nice, only a couple years old now - and the wife and I have been staying thre for scarby since the first year it was available in time for faire. They do have a small discount for scarby too (or buy your ticket at teh hotel desk).

Indoor pool...nice no matter what the weather is like!

I see an executive party suite in my future......

We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites last closing weekend.  We got a king room and it was HUGE.  PLus they have the breakfast thing.  And their beds, sheets, pillows are pure heaven.

Blue - go for the Hampton.  I stayed at this chain quite often when I traveled on business and this chain is one of the better ones.

I stayed at the Hampton last year and it was great. All except for my dad's snoring. I'll fly solo this round; he can get his own damned area for slumber. Me like'ums me booty, er, beauty sleep!!

The breakfast was pretty good, and the indoor pool was a good relaxer after faire.

Indoor pool??? SOLD!!!

For those trying for the Super 8 on opening weekend.

There is probably only one more room available on the Drunken Gnome block reserved.

Got mine reserved 20 minutes ago.
