[s-cars] //S-Fest 2006 - Hotel Info

[Robert Rossato]

Okay folks.  For those of you that prefer camping with plush carpet
under your feet and a flush toilet at your disposal, here is the deal
I've worked out for you.

There is a brand spanking new Comfort Suites hotel in Windsor Locks CT.
This is roughly 15 miles from the new 2006 S-Fest location and easy
on/off from the highway.  It just opened up last week.  Because they're
new and no one knows about them yet I was able to talk the sales manager
down to a $69/night rate.  Normally they're $109/night and up.  Free
WiFi internet service.  Indoor pool.  Fitness room.  Refrigerator,
microwave and coffeemaker in the rooms.  And the usual complimentary
breakfast.  You'll probably be the first to use the rooms.

The sales manager asked that folks that want to make reservations wait
until tomorrow so that she can get the rate into their system today.
Ask for the S-Fest rate.  I'm only providing the local number for it
because the 800 # will get you a national call center and the sales rep
was concerned that the rate may not show up on the national system.

Comfort Suites
600 Spring Street
Windsor Locks, CT 06096
860-386-6300

If you have any problems getting the $69/night rate, please contact me
so I can take care of it.

The map link is listed under 599 Spring St. because 600 doesn't exist
yet in Google's database, but I'm sure you'll find it.

For those of you that may be flying in, it is right across from Bradley
Int'l airport though it is not under the flight paths like most of the
other hotels are.  And of course shuttle service to and from the airport
is available.  

If you're into aviation you can go check out the New England Air Museum
around the back side of the airport on Sunday after S-Fest.

I don't think you'll be able to find much better in price that isn't a
dump.  This is a one time event pricing because they're brand new, so
don't expect this to be available the next time you happen to be in
town.
