For the 1st time since Historicon moved to the downtown location, I missed Room Block. What is the best alternative? Hope for a cancellation as the convention gets closer? Has anyone had success with this strategy? Walk from the Holiday Inn? Book on Rt. 30 or elsewhere that is cheaper and drive? |

Last year I stayed in a AirBnB downtown, and found the walk delightful. If the Holiday Inn were cheaper, I would have just stayed there and left the Marriott to the GMs and vendors. I like downtown Lancaster, and I enjoy a walk and a different breakfast stop every morning. It would be different if I were a GM, and I guess I was just lucky I didn't buy anything that would overflow my backpack.  |

I stayed at the Holiday Inn our first year there. I stayed out on Rte 30 twice, to be present for 2 friends to be inducted into the Legion of Honor. I never found what I considered a satisfactory approach. I have since stopped trying. :《 |

There will be cancellations. There was over 40 for Cold Wars. Call back periodically, talk to the manager and get to know him/her. If you are not a Marriott Bonvoy member become one so they have all your info in there data base. They may even call you, they did me before Cold Wars. Kim |
