Thinking about renting a rustic cabin 30 min west of the show. My fat ass doesn’t need waffles I need a hiking trail any other campers out there ?
This would be roughing it no frills , just a bunk bed,
A fire pit and a front porch . I’ve done the 4 star hotel thing this is just one last camping trip before I take a dirt nap. Camping with pinball. Anyone coming in with an RV ? https://www.rvonthego.com/pennsylvania/robin-hill-rv-resort-campground/?utm_source=yext&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=Yext%20Directory%20Listing

A Cabin not a tent I don’t sleep on the ground anymore , unless I’m so shit-faced I cannot make it into a bed

Four points is sold out. I’ve stayed there before , they change names so Often I’ve lost track between this and comfort Suites

Booked thru booking.com. Nonrefundable. ... I’m on The SOL plan.

Didn’t book a hotel, motel. Cabin, or a lake house . Figured the State is going to shut Pinfest down right around Memorial Day. Lehigh County is still red. Pinfest 2020 if it happens ppl will be sleeping in Campers, or vans. We ought to be ripe by Day 3 .

Most years most of us use lodging with bathroom amenities. 2020 is a whole new animal.

I’ll check the website for the 2021 dates

I Prefer May 8, 9 myself . No mom. No kids, just another Weekend.

Ivan,

Good to
Know the PIN code didn’t work for the Holiday Inn. Formerly The Wingate . I’ll keep checking back. I’m all in for pretzel steak !

Remember to dust the donuts .

I had to fight tooth and nail last year to get a Covid refund on my hotel. I’ll never book anything I can’t cancell again .

In an Email Ivan said he’d secure the blocks later this month. I hope The Dorney park peeps don’t hog all the Hotels.

Just booked the Holiday Inn. No promo code yet, but I can always cancel, and I am guaranteed a room. With PA opening back up and families missing out on Vacation 2020, I am betting dollars to donuts that hotels are going to be snapped up.

There should be, but I have not seen it yet. I am also waiting on an invoice for my flea registration. I am sure Ivan is super busy and will address things over the next few weeks. If anyone sees the Pinfestival Website Lodging page updated, kindly post that information. Thanks in advance.

No block at the Holiday Inn as of today, former Wingate. I check periodically on the Pinfestival website. I called the Hotel front desk and conformed there isn’t rooms reserved at this time. The few $ I might save goes towards pretzel steaks.

Just got my invoice for the flea .

Thankyou for the update! And Thankyou for the much needed show.

Werts cafe is walking distance & they have a nice menu. Not a chain

Is there anywhere in the Farmers Market they sell wings? Not just buffalo wings, I like other flavors. And locally who has the best cheese steaks? You try YELP and Trip Advisor and reviews are all over the map, literally.

For those staying at the holiday inn at the 78/222 intersection make sure you don’t get a room on the end by 222 if you’re a light sleeper. Constant truck noise all night. And in 2019 only 1 ice machine was working for all 4 floors.

I’m thinking it’s gonna be packed in the indoor flea, all spots are sold. Only 30% chance of rain on Thursday, the other 2 days look good. Don’t forget to dust the donuts .

No worries! We’re not “Snobs” like the other thread

Looks promising weather wise.

Holiday InnExpress pancake maker shit the bed and the sausage was dry as F—- this morning. Yesterday the.bacon was excellent and the pancakes popped out if the little machine , they were good. The parking lot spaces are smaller not great for a fill sized truck. Noting this for 2022 which is only 9 months away!

I hear you. Seems like empty shelves and high gas prices got everyone counting the coins they already have.

Gas is climbing , Hotels are up. Still going but sucks the cost to go is getting pricey.

The selling point is the dog. IMHO.

Seen one two many episodes of Forensic Files. I’ll go with the hotel.

Cheapest gas coming from the East is WAWA Exit 3 on 78W. $4.039 as of today

Gas price update. BJ’s or Sam’s Club by the Allentown Airport is 3.749 .

Well its now 3.869

3.999 now

Stayed there once. No
Thanks to The trucks roaring by all damn night.

F the rain and worrying about getting your pin, parts, or other valuables wet in the parking lot .

Considering staying at the Hilton Gardens by the Airport. Reviews don't mention hookers, drug sales, crazed meth heads howling in the parking lot looking for their popsicle cat. My question is how safe is that area? The last thing any of us want is our vehicle broken into or stolen. One place I can say avoid at all costs is Howard Johnson's on Hamilton Ave. The reviews are alarming and the photos by reviewers are cringe worthy. The last 2 shows I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Hamilton Ave across from Dorney. Nice place but......... for those of us will full sized pickups, the spots are more geared towards Honda Civics, not real wide. I always park under the lights. The two years I had a trailer, I stayed at the Comfort Suites, which is now Four Points. There is a secondary lot across from the main lot that easily accommodates pickups with enclosed trailers. Stayed there up until fellow Pinsiders had issues with the front desk selling rooms and giving card keys out to occupied rooms.

Which Holiday Inn? The Holiday Inn Express North by the Airport off 22, or the one across from Dorney, or the one a half mile down from Dorney just past I-78 on the left heading towards Wescosville? There are 3 within 7 miles of one another.

Two on Hamilton Ave. I assume rollinover stayed at the one across from Dorney.

Cheapest gas ⛽️ is BJ’s or Sam’s Club 3.109 by the airport if you’re a member. Costco is 3.129 closer to Dorney.

We’ll add 37 cents per and it’s not going anywhere but up
