So, I see a lot of folks plan to be at Scarby opening weekend and I was wondering who is planning to stay where....
I am thinking we will be at The Hampton Inn for that weekend. Anyone else plan to be at that hotel that weekend?
possibly....
Super 8
We'll be staying at the Super 8

400 N Interstate Highway 35 E, Waxahachie, TX? - (972) 938-9088?
thank you
is this where everyone is going to be staying all season, and if so are they giving any group rates and discounts for multiple stays?
I know PapaGnome reserves a discounted block for the particular weekend that his group goes (opening weekend this year), but I'm not sure if the property itself offers any kind of multiple-stay discount. Your best bet would probably be to just call and ask them if they're willing to work something out with you.
They seem to be pretty accommodating, and I've never known the staff to be less than friendly and helpful.
Whenever you are going to Scarborough, wherever you stay, ALWAYS try to make your reservations BEFORE Faire even opens! When we stayed at the Super 8, lo those many years ago, we contacted them in January and made our reservations for the entire season.
The manager back then was Mr. Peter Lee, a very nice man who always worked well with us to accomodate our peculiarities and requests.
If you are planning to book a hotel for opening weekend (04/04-04/05) you should make your reservations NOW. The NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup races are at Texas Motor Speedway the same weekend and most hotels within 50 miles of the Dallas area end up booked solid.
Thanks for the reminder!
I just booked opening weekend at the Super 8 and closing at the Knights Inn. Closing seems to be the weekend that's all booked up.
(Now, I just have to get that FoF pass...)
I made my reservations too. This year I will do the Season pass instead of Friends of Faire.
Does the super 8 have a coffe pot in the room ? If not I will need to get one. Me without my morning coffee isn't a pretty sight.
Just made my reservations for opening weekend (April 3,4,5) at the Super 8 in the Drunken Gnome reserved block. There is one more room available.
booked for opening weekend at the hampton inn! i can't wait!
Super 8 is booked up for closing weekend and the others are going fast

Pretty sure they do! My fiance also requires coffee in the morning.
I tried booking with Motel 8's site and they said it was booked, but was able to there with Hotels.com for opening weekend. Hope it goes through!
You may want to call and confirm that one Yrose. From what I gather, the super 8 was full completely opening weekend for sure. When Papagnome called to get the block of rooms, they told him he got the last 5 rooms for the weekend.
*I would rather reserve rum than rooms...*
Just spoke to Super 8- there are 2 or 3 rooms left with the Drunken Gnomes. So says the desk clerk, Peter...
I called Hotels.com and they swear they have some that are reserved for them and mine is good.
Well, that's how those things work anyways.... hotels set aside a certain block for offsite website sales. So even if the hotel shows as being booked completely, the offsite websites still have some rooms available.
Nifty huh?
Funny how those things, work, yeah?
Depending on the weekend and which days I have to work, if friends are going with, etc. I'm might be in need of borrowing a piece of a floor in someones hotel room for my air mattress one or two of the weekends (prob. the ones when everyone is here, so I can go to faire both days.) Easier than driving all the way back from Denton the second day.
I will compensate in the form of munnys! ;D

Last I heard on the DG rooms, there was one left (I think there was someone supposed to get it, but I don't know if they ever got back with Papagnome). When he called to block the rooms, there were only 5 left at that time so he just went ahead and blocked them all knowing that someone would need it. If anyone is in need of a room still, leave Papagnome a renmail and see if anyone has taken it yet.
As far as the online stuff... Glad you got it! Did they say if there were any more spots open?
*i wish it was that easy to get rum... oh wait... it is that easy... nevermind*

Nope.

I might be able to find room, but I require a compensation that doesn't include munny, muny or money....... ::)

??? ??? I called a couple of weeks ago and was able to reserve at Super 8 for 2nd through 7th weekends, but they had nothing available for Opening and Closing, so those weekends we'll be back at Days Inn Red Oak, where we've been for the last 2 years
Hmmm ??? ...I didn't call. I just booked on their website and it went through...I have a confirmation # and everything! lol! ;)
We'll be at the Super 8 too. Already booked.
