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"
Check out this thread, some good info from last season:

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.
200 I-35 East
Waxahachie, TX 75165

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 (http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=DALWXHX) 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...
:P
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.
