I'm not staying but maybe the Crossland Studios?

Ajaxus · 06-28-2007, 12:32 PM

can somebody in those area's do driveby's to see if they're dives or not?

lvemy3100 · 06-28-2007, 01:55 PM

I can hit up the 2 in gurnee tomorrow cause I gotta go to the mall... the others are in waukeegan and so I would have to say no ones car would be safe there at all... at least gurnee and antioch are decent

Malibu Glow · 06-28-2007, 06:14 PM

I think I'd want to be in Antioch instead, I don't care to give the State anymore money than I have to, I can't stand the toll roads.

lvemy3100 · 06-28-2007, 06:18 PM

only thing that will be available in antioch will be motels (maybe) and gurnee is pretty close to the area the meet will be in (~18min out)

Ajaxus · 06-28-2007, 06:19 PM

my vote is on la quinta then

lvemy3100 · 06-28-2007, 06:31 PM

dont know if this will work but this should be a link to non AAA rates

Ajaxus · 06-28-2007, 07:50 PM

if people split rooms it won't be so bad..and the link worked mark.

Ajaxus · 06-30-2007, 07:58 PM

meh, mark i say we go with LQ, nobody else is speaking up with anything else and it sounds like the best deal/safest location of them all..soooooooooooooooo what you think?

lone_wolf025 · 06-30-2007, 09:42 PM

I'm gonna second that.

not gonna lie I didnt get a chance to look because of the pain I have been in for the past few days but I will be going today...

even without looking I would have to agree that LQ is probably gonna be the best all around when it comes to money and location... I will let you all know more later today...

i stayed in one in arizona and didnt really mind it. nice place and freindly employees

lvemy3100 · 07-01-2007, 08:12 PM

Ok so it looks like LQ is the place to go... pool looked pretty nice too even though it is indoors...

lots of places to eat surrounding the hotel (no need to drive) and the Gurnee Mills is right down the road...

Ajaxus · 07-01-2007, 08:31 PM

Ok, one small detail left to workout, for those staying at LQ do you want me to call in a reservation for a couple rooms (tell me how many if so) or do you want to all make your reservations on your own?
