Hotel Info **UPDATED** February 26, 2007, 12:35:50 PM As some of you have pointed out, the rooms at Red Roof are $89.99 per night for the weekend of Cat Jam. The reason for this is there is a major event going on that weekend.I have a 10 room block reserved for us, so when you call for reservations, ask for the Cat Jam block of rooms, they may be under my name (Karen Guest). They'll hold the block of rooms till June 27th. If you don't book by then, they can't guarantee the availability.Rooms are a variety of 2 double beds, or 1 king size, smoking and non smoking.Phone number is (330) 758-1999This is the best we could get for pricing since the big event is going on. Sorry everyone. But as you all know, this hotel has been good to us the past several years.**For future reference, Eric, you may want to call ahead and find out if there are any major things happening the weekend that you have planned for CJ, just in case it needs to be changed to prevent any issues...I'll leave that up to your discretion.

Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #1 – February 26, 2007, 01:02:59 PM Thanks Karen, it's appreciated.Don't forget, this year CJ is one week later...so that pretty much explains the price changes. I have no idea what the "big event" is this year. However, next year I think we should go back to the weekend before the last in July to avoid this. Quote Selected
Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #2 – February 26, 2007, 01:03:19 PM As an option, I am currently waiting on a phone call about a group rate at a different hotel. It's the Microtel in Boardman. It is just up the street from where Red Roof is. From their online site, it looks like their rooms will be about 1/2 the cost of RR.As soon as I get a price, I'll let you all know. If everyone is agreeable and the price is right, I'll book a block there instead. Quote Selected

Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #4 – February 27, 2007, 08:35:12 AM Karen, is this block of rooms at a lower price?The reason I ask is because I've already got a room reserved and if the block is cheaper, I'll switch. Quote Selected
Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #5 – February 27, 2007, 11:41:21 AM Ok, here is what I have:Microtel is MUCH cheaper than RR. They are giving us rooms at $54 per night for a double room. 1 of the rooms has 2 twin beds in it. The others have 2 double beds. 2 of the rooms are non smoking. However, they only have a total of 5 rooms available for us.They will be e-mailing me the reservation information and as soon as I have it, I'll get it to you. You will need a credit card to hold your room.**I am keeping the block of rooms at RR also, since we'll need more than 5 rooms total. ** Quote Selected

They should have 4 rooms available.Double Rooms are $54.95 a night, single rooms are $44.95 a night. Sorry there is such a shortage of rooms there. I got all of the rooms that I could for the block for us.If you can't get a room at Microtel, call Red Roof as we have a block of rooms there also, and they too are listed as "Cat Jam". (Red Roof rooms are $89.99 a night) Quote Selected
Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #10 – April 17, 2007, 03:49:38 PM where is the micro in relation to red roof? is it that block of hotells like within site of the RR parking lot? im just wondering if its walking distance. Quote Selected
Hotel Info **UPDATED** Reply #11 – April 17, 2007, 03:55:09 PM Yeah, that's exactly where it is. It's on South Avenue so from RRI, facing the street entrance (which is north), Microtel is northwest. Go through the empty parking lot across from RRI, through the field, and you're there. Not too far away. Quote Selected
