Dayton hilton rates

[yellermelon]

Anyone notice they went up? I was gonna reserve my room in a few weeks ( I wanna reserve early so I am sure to get one there this year) Anyway they are 170 this year. Last year I think they were like 130? I dont mind as long as Im not at the desert inn again!

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Last year they had a $99 room rate for the show. Did you check the Reptile Expo's website?

 

[yellermelon]

Well, it said 130.00 I guess I will call them this coming week.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I just looked myself... that's a pretty big increase! I guess people are just gonna have to get room-mates?

 

[yellermelon]

lol, sounds like the most logical. I even checked to see If AAA get you a better rate.. NOPE same price for those dates

 

[PrototypeGeckos]

Hey Chris, if you call and make a reservation, and have the money to make the first nights payment up front then you can get the $130 price, but you have to call, can't do it online. I didn't have $130 up front, so I used my card to reserve my room and I am bending over and paying $170/night, OUCH, but atleast this time I am right across the street from the show and don't have to pay parking MULTIPLE times a day (Show, Jeremys place, our place, Jeremys place)lol, that got expensive, I think I spent more on parking than geckos.

Shaun,...I dont even want to hear it. You seen my room, I paid parking willingly to get away from the hotel de' shihole! i will be calling this week Im not staying in the .....crap hole again lol

Nah, I am not staying there either, I learn from my mistakes, I got a room in the Hilton, just a more expensive room.

 

[yellermelon]

Very much worth how much ever they ask in my opinion

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I asked my husband if he wanted to go to Daytona this year, and he just made a face and said, "Why, so I can spend a lot of money to hang out with you and your gecko buddies and be a fifth wheel?"

Oh, well... maybe Kelli and I can go together again and share a room like we did last August. I had soooooo much fun with all of you!

 

[Ccrashca069]

One day I will be able to go to Daytona. I would love to go. I have heard it is so awesome. But I have to stay here. My wife doesn't drive so I drive her to and from work.

 

[malt_geckos]

We live pretty close so it's a small drive for us...maybe an hour? If anyone wants to split a room cost, we are up to it though...yeah that's kinda strange though. lol. It doesn't matter though, it would just be cool if we know you before we sleep in the same hotel room. lol. I'm trying to convince Matt to make a mini-vaca out of it. We can stay at a hotel Friday and Saturday night. If anyone's up to sharing the expense, let us know! We won't bite.... hehehe...

Marcia- you can share a room with us if your husband doesn't want to go.

 

[yellermelon]

Mallorie, you guys could just drive...
But anyway Marcia, I didnt get to meet you last year. I tried but you were elusive. We should all get together this year, i didnt get to eat with you all last year..Mabey this year I wil have enough cool points

 

[malt_geckos]

I know we can drive but it's not the same. Lol! It would be nice to get away from the house and the parents for a few days. We rarely get to vacation so it would be something cool! It's just the rooms are so pricey.

I too want to find everyone and get together for food! We should all exchange phone numbers and call each other to work something out. I'm so darn excited!

I wasn't trying to be elusive...

 

[yellermelon]

I was looking for bright red hair lol. I asked everyone.."have you seen Marcia and Kelli?" everyone just said yeah theyer around here somewhere lol. Mallorie, I understand completley I hear you can get a good rate at the Desert Inn......
ok j/k I wouldnt send an enemy to that place lol.

 

[Zbiz]

I'm actually attending this year for the first time... I used it as an excuse for the family vacation... mostly saying disney world is in the same state LOL. Sooo basiclly we are going to be in orlando for the week before the show and then spend that weekend in daytona... I better reserve my room soon! I'm incredibly excited! And plan to bring my summers pay!

 

[nwheat]

I made my reservation for this year - I also noticed that increase in price. I have no idea if I'll really get to go again or not - but I sure hope so! :main_yes: Hanging out with my gecko-friends is always so much fun!!

 

[yellermelon]

Ok well, I just made my reservations 147 after tax. not to bad. IM glad to be at the Hilton this year, and super stoked and ready to go now lol.

 

[dprince]
