Bennington Triumph Bash

I thought I'd made a reservation back in January, but apparently not. So I just went to book a room for the BTB from Thu-Sun of that weekend, and they have NO ROOMS available!!!

If you're not booked, better start looking now folks!

Jamie

There are NO spillover rooms, completely booked. Here's what's left for the BTB block of rooms (I snagged a "premier" room for $120/night)!

1 Premier handicap king - $120/night
4 Pet Friendly Premier Doubles - $120/night
1 Regular Premier Double - $120/night (but this may be MY room??)
1 Pet Friendly Premier King Sauna - $130/night

So 5, maybe 6 (if they already counted mine) rooms available!!

Jamie

Thanks for the heads up. Just grabbed one of the last ones.

You really needed the Pet Friendly Sauna room, didn't you Marty!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Wow! good to know. Keep in mind the Kirkside is no longer an option. there is a questionable place a few blocks down from the paradise. I know the premier rooms at the paradise are large enough that if anyone is in a bind for a place to stay, you could sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor if you know someone willing to share a room. they do not have roll away beds.

This is the one right at the bottom of the Paradise driveway - http://www.benningtonmotorinn.net/

This one is a bit up the hill from the Paradise - http://www.themidtownmotel.com/

Like Allan said, "questionable", but there's a bed and a shower. The one at the bottom of the drive shows it's been "renovated".

See y'all in a few months!

Jamie

Maybe next year we can request additional rooms be set aside?

I'm sure I can block more rooms. the last few years we didn't reserve all the rooms & they were released. I guess we'll see what our attendance is this year & make that determination.

alan

A difficult thing to project, for sure.

If the rooms are gone that fast, I can't wait to see what happens to the dinner reservations if they are limited again. Any news on this Mark?

We are still working out the dinner details, but we were able to secure the larger room so we won't have to cap the dinner attendees.

Great news. Hope I don't lose my voice!

Alan, I'm not sure about that. The large room was gone when I called to make the reservation. Did it open back up?

I thought Mark told me it was avail. maybe I misunderstood. Maybe they said they could get a few more tables in the smaller room....We'll find out shortly.

According to Maru's email from a couple of weeks ago, the large room had opened back up. But now I'm getting a little nervous; maybe she got the dates mixed up. I'll email her to confirm.

Dinner reservations will be going live this weekend. The menu has been confirmed (traditional turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc for the carnivores and eggplant parm for the herbivores); price has gone up about a dollar from last year.
