Is there a host hotel everyone is staying at?

In for Saturday.
-
Is there a host hotel everyone is staying at?
good question jeremy!
i hadnt heard anything about accommodations so i called the accent inn on maple st (the usual host hotel) and they have 1 room available for the 13th (a large expensive "suite").
ideally, if there is a group of us going over it's always nice to stay in the same hotel (party in jags room :rockon:), so i posted up on the vvwc asking those folks for some recommendations!
if anyone here has any ideas/info, post 'em up. clean & safe to park our cars is important. reasonably priced is good. close to the action is good too!
not too worried as i know we'll all figure it out regardless!! :cool:
-
I agree Silas. It would be good to all stay at the same hotel so we could party in Jags room. :band1: If we are lucky maybe Jaga will offer up some late night BJ's. Hot dogs that is.
-

...suddenly I'm not too worried that I double booked myself with a concert in the states on Sunday.
Sorry guys, I had planned on attending but can't make it now.

***important info about accomadations from greg on the vvwc site***
https://plus.google.com/101319910162141837375/about?gl=ca&hl=en
3020 Blanshard Street
Victoria, BC V8T 5C7
(250) 382-4400
for anyone looking for a hotel room
I got a group rate at the Comfort Inn (The one mentioned above)
$139 a night
King sized Beds
Hot Breakfast included
Liquor store/pub with outdoor Patio in the same building (Reds pub, Food is good and its not overly busy, I frequent it a fair amount :D )
I was talking to Greg McEwan (Sales Manager) He works Monday-friday, and he is the only one there who knows about this
Ask for him and say something along the lines of Volkswagen show or something like that and he will get it, If you planning on booking this weekend ask them to leave a message for him giving the room rate and info and he will deal with it on monday (The joy of setting this up a week in advance haha)
Or let me know by the end of the weekend and I will talk to him for you guys on monday!
Hotels #1-250-382-4400
so for those looking for rooms i would suggest calling the comfort inn asap and talking to someone there to at least reserve/put your name down for a room and then deal with greg (sales manager at the comfort inn) and the group rate discounts later/first thing monday! (or get ahold of greg from the vvwc site for help/info)!
lori & i are booked there allready! we'll see you all in jags room saturday night!! ;) :cool:
-
Just called and he will be in on monday .. I will call back then a get a room!... Party time!
-
i just talked to greg mcewan (sales manager at the comfort inn 250-382-4400) and he's very friendly & helpfull and he says it's filling up fast so make the call and get your rooms!!
request to talk to him directly or at least talk to the front desk and reserve your room and deal with the discount later (mention the victoria volkswagen club group rate, they may or may not be able to apply it right away)!! :cool:
-
What was the rate Silas?
-
Im booked in !
-
I'm in. Only three rooms left.

And a special shout out to all of you that left unopened booze in my bus. I started out with 12 beer and ended up coming home with 17 beer, 5 girlie drinks, and a 26er of crown!
Woo hoo! :P
-
A couple of those beers were mine. :singing:
I think the girlie drinks were Geoff's. Funny, he seemed pretty drunk and I know he started with 6....... wtf. Which one of you guys slipped him the roofie?
-
I saw Jaga slipping something in someone's drink, I think Johnnies, while we were in the pub.
Hmmmm
-
Yes dont leave open drink around me !
-
Weird? I saw jaga slip something in ChrisE..... That's when it got weird :s_laugh:

:sign0103:
Ok, here we go. If I'm not mistaken Geoff spent the night in bed with a dude and was walking kinda funny in the morning. And he carried around the same empty beer can for hours that night. I'm not judging, but that's kinda weird. :29:
