So I was trying to make hotel arrangements for our annual outing to the Celtic Fling in Manheim, PA June 22-24, 2012. While typically we stay at the Hampton Inn Manheim when we go (As it is directly across the road), I made a discovery last week that really pissed me off.
While calling a reserve a room for that Friday and Saturday for my wife, myself and our 2 children, I was informed by a pleasent sounding woman that The Hampton Inn Manheim is only accepting reservations for 3 days or more for that weekend. Furthermore, the rates for that weekend had gone up, just about $50 a night from the previous year. I just could not see spending $600 attending a festival that is actually within driving distance.
So anyway, my fantastic and thrifty wife did some foot work and located the Holiday Inn Express Lititz, the hotel gets 3/5 stars, is less than $150/night with a AAA discount..!. The place has beds, showers and an indoor pool. The latter has made my son so excited that he has already started packing for the trip (swimsuits anway), and it's only 10 minutes away from the festival.
Cheers,
