Hi All, I was getting concerned about hotel reservations for the fest, so I started checking. The economy does not seem to have depressed the rates.
Having at the Econo Inn and the Americas Best in past years, I decided to go slightly upscale. These two do offer the best rates and while they are nothing to brag about, they were acceptable. That is except for one thing, I needed workable internet access and neither passed the test when I stayed there. In checking around I was astonished to find that the Best Western was sold out during the time period, Choice says they only have one rather expensive room available, and the Holiday Inn wants almost $100 a night. My best result was with the Fairfield Inn (309-344-1911). They negotiated a rate of $69.99 per night for a room with two beds, two guests for a full weeks stay and provided a confirmed reservation number. When asked, they said they could offer the same rate to anyone coming to the CNC Workshop for the full week.

There's still time to save $100.
