Guess what we should talk about here? .... no not that ... where are you staying and what kind of rate did you get. Oh and are folks looking for assistance or recommendations?

marlboromike · 01-22-2008, 08:09 PM

I did not see it Mike...now what? Would u like me to have the mods Lock mine down?

**NJSKY** · 01-22-2008, 08:26 PM

Just to assure I had a room. I booked 3 nites at the --

Fairfield Inn Wilmington Newark/Christiana Mall
65 Geoffrey Drive
Newark, DE 19713

$75.00 a nite (AAA rate)

Of course if there are better suggestions

or a better group rate.. I can cancel this....

**Ahnuld** · 01-22-2008, 08:57 PM

What does the Wilmington area have to offer for luxury accomodations?
I'm thinking of going in style!

I found HotelDupont... looks very nice. The 550sq ft Luxury room is $170 a night.

Any others hotels?

I'll bite..

The DuPont Hotel is the nicest place in town by far. The weekend rate of $170 is less than 50% of the usual rate on weekdays. Nice place. Parking will be extra but the DuPont Hotel has its own, guarded parking lot as well.

Did you do anything special to get that rate? Did you just say you were visiting the plant? Or are you a GM employee?

ctyankee · 02-01-2008, 10:18 PM

OK. I hated the place and thought it was a revambed Ramada. But I want my damn Marriott points, so, I am staying there again. The Courtyard next door is twice as much!

Any chance NASSOA/MASSC can get a group discount somewhere? Just asking.

I just checked this place out, there's an "Internet Users" rate you can select during the reservation process. Selecting this option will let you get a standard room with one king size bed or two queen size beds for $107.99 a night.

(302)292-1500 at ask for the GM Plant Tour Rate. This rate is also good if you plan on coming to town earlier than Friday or staying later. If this closes out after 30 rooms, we may be able to secure a second block of rooms.

So I got a reservation at Fairfield Inn; Got 2 Dble beds; any singles want to split the room fee? I promise I'm harmless; just trying to save $$..

Thanks, great rate!

I was thinking about staying at the Courtyard Marriott, been there before, but at this rate I decided to book yesterday at the Fairfield Inn for May 8th, 9th & 10th.

**Ahnuld** · 02-20-2008, 11:29 AM

hmmm... We have a room at the Quality Inn... a few miles in the other direction. Went there because I grabbed a recently remodeled suite with a fancy whirpool (we are only staying one night, so paying $140 instead of $70 wasnt too diffi
