Great thanks ready for May
Booked the Holiday Inn Express across from Dorny Park. Used to stay there years ago, never had any issues. Did not choose the Holiday Inn listed on the show site as it had sketchy reviews.

Im there too. But honestly, its a bed. I am so incredibly exhausted and numb after each day from talking to everyone, you could drive a semi through my room and I probably wouldn't care.

Looks like the Pinfest sponsored rates for Days Inn and Four Points Sheraton are now live, nothing yet for Holiday Inn.

I’ll look into that. It’s supposed to be a working link. It’s what they gave us.

Holiday Inn "Pinfest" rate has been live for a while now, saw it when I booked the other Holiday Inn Express.

I did some searching on VRBO and found this 2br place that appears to be walking distance to the show. The site has a few other non-hotel options with 2-night minimums in the center-city area.
Chose another option so I figured I would share here.

Pa liquor laws are funny. Hard liquor only sold in state stores.

Just like Ontario

At least you can find beer in super markets etc now in PA, I remember the first time I went to Pinfest and couldn't find beer anywhere. Had to buy it in a bar, weird.
You can get beer at some gas stations and grocery stores now, but the selection often isnt great. And thanks to our crappy laws, every gas station or grocery store that can now sell beer is able to do so
because they bought a bar liquor license. So its nearly a 1 to 1 reduction of local bars to new "convenient" locations. Look for a local beer distributor or one of the hundreds of micro breweries if you want something unique.
Abe's Cold Beer is close to the fairgrounds and has some decent craft stuff in addition to the usual suspects. I'm sure there are some other decent spots if you dig around online.
Quoted from scootss:Might stay in downtown Allentown the night before. Any recommendations to see/eat/drink?

We went here last year, it was decent and open late. Loud and busy, with a small arcade in the back and a few games up front.

When the PA Liqueur Control Board realized they can sell beer & wine licenses at auction for huge $$ to grocery stores, Sheetz, Rutters and other convenience store chains, beer is everywhere now.
