Re: (313) hotel stuff / movement personal ad
Paging Greg Earle . . . for a second opinion . . . On the Ath? Or in general ... My quick 2 cents (that's 1/2 of a Euro cent, by the time you read this): 1999 - Luxor: oops, that wasn't the DEMF 2000 - Uh, wait, I was in Tokyo being an idiot 2001 - Ren Center Marriott: Nice hotel, pricey ($189 a night at the time), getting back up to your room at the end of the night was a nightmare. Other than that, nice place to stay. 2002 - Athenaeum: Really nice hotel, way pricey, had to walk a few more blocks, no biggie. Only recommended if you can split a room there 3 ways (double room plus sofa bed). Then it becomes somewhat affordable. Scare: Hotel staff found a small amount of Mary Jew Wanna (not mine), threatened to throw us out. Cooler heads prevailed, but you might wanna consider a more laid-back hotel :-) 2003 - Pontchartrain: OK hotel, not too pricey, good location, way too much chaos from the stupid patio parties, not to mention noise, don't think I'll go back. My recommendation: do the Ath thing if you've got 2 good roommates. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere if you're solo, maybe to one of the hotels not mentioned above (Courtyard, Holiday Inn, etc.) - Greg (who can't remember the last year he spent that weekend at home)

Peeps Wow. I wasn't sure that i'd ever be doing this but i am going to be able to go to movement this year. Can anyone give me a reccommendation of a reasonably priced hotel that's near all the action ? i am looking for something pretty simple - just somewhere to sleep occasionally. Also anyone else who is going wants to meet up please drop me a line. I like funky techno house. I can dance a little bit and am hopefully not a complete embarrasment at parties. I don't drink much or get messy. I like food too. I can provide references a photo. :^)

Re: (313) hotel stuff / movement personal ad
The Marriott is the most expensive hotel I've ever come across - anywhere! You can get five star accom in Sydney for less and it's way more plush. I stayed in Atlanta in a five star and that was the same and wayyy wayyy wa more plush. But the people are really nice. If you're male and in a group you can afford to go someplace further away and cheaper. You also need a good sense of direction for the Marriott, they kinda change everything yearly. It's the Detroit Labyrinth methinks. ;) -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Philip [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (313) hotel stuff / movement personal ad Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 12:18 PM hey man, I'll def meet up with you.

Wow, I loved the Pontchartrain when I hit Detroit 3 years back, not only was the service excellent (Room service were always really quick and polite, possibly down to the large tips we were throwing them though, the bar staff were all friendly too), but we were able to pretty much run riot through the hotel for 4 days!

This year I'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Washington and Lafayette (used to be the Best Western). They have rooms for $89/night right now if you book online (http://www.holiday-inn.com). It seems to be the only bigger hotel within walking distance that's under $100, excluding the Ramada, but that place can be quite a disaster. The Holiday Inn also has complimentary breakfast and an indoor pool! I think Dennis already mentioned a couple motels in the area. All of the major online discount sites (Travelocity, Expedia, Hotwire, etc.) seem to be offering the three major hotels (Pontchartrain, RenCen Marriot, Courtyard Marriot) for nothing lower that $120.

Re: (313) hotel stuff / movement personal ad
Well, our experience last year at the Pontch wasn't that good. Too many *really* inconsiderate people - you could just tell by the look on the hotel staff faces that they hated us all. The people in the rooms next to us got kicked out early by hotel security in the middle of the night which made getting some sleep in the early morning a lot easier. The hallways get trashed with used room service food and flyers all over the place. Since they now are hosting parties on the 2nd floor terrace the place has become a trash dump plus the music they play sucks @ss - the elevators which already took a long time to arrive now take even longer, they run out of their computer cables faster than I can type this sentence, parking in the area if you drive or rent a car is sparse - don't park in a ramp because they will most likely close for the weekend and you won't get your car out and you'll be paying $40-50 for what is essentially the non-secure storage of your vehicle. There's more than this but I just can't think of it all right now - I don't blame the hotel but rather those people who come to visit and don't think twice about the people who actually are working that weekend to keep us all happy customers. The good things about the Pontch - breakfast buffet on Sunday morning can't be beat - just don't fall asleep in your eggs, the views if you get a room on the river side are fantastic, the proximity to the festival is great, and when you get to hear the hotel security kick out a bunch of idiots with two more days left to the festival you get to fall off the bed laughing and then finally get some sleep.

Re: (313) hotel stuff / movement personal ad
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna stay at the Pontch again this year (unless I can't find anything else). The rooms smelled kinda funky and it was party central. There were many disrespectful guests who trashed the facilities. I felt bad for the cleaning staff - actually all the staff there were really nice to us and worked extra hard to keep up with the losers trashing the place. Oh, and the crowd that came in for the balcony parties - frightening!!! It *was* really, really close to Hart Plaza so it's ideal for location.
