Don't poop on the new venue if you haven't been there yet. It's not bad (certainly didn't see crack pipes or poop when I was there). It's a Best Western tho, not a Four Seasons.

<it’s further for a lot us CT and NY game bringers to a dominant SS show , fewer EM’s each year. I want the show to succeed but the extra miles push it out of a day trip for me. Staying over at a place which may or may not be clean is a concern. You had a good experience so enjoy your stay but I’ll
Respectfully pass.

37 additional minutes door to door. And realistically, you’re not forced to stay there. You can stay anywhere in the local area. Even a nice hotel.
I mean it’s fine if you don’t want to go to the show, but that seemed overdramatized.

Problem solved, we are all staying at Dave's house. LOL

ePlus tolls and aggravation. And you forgot the elephant in the room: EM games less and less each year. I’ll
Politely leave this thread and if I was considering Pintastic your reply helped me make my decision.
Quoted from PinMonk:I never had a complaint with the chosen hotel for California Extreme. I'm not saying it's easy, but it can be done for large shows.
Congratulations you found a hotel that works well for you and California Extreme.
Quoted from PinMonk:No I have not, but I was concerned for the really bad health and safety reviews of that new location on NUMEROUS sites, not just yelp. Basically any site not controlled by the venue's marketing had gross experiences like poop in bed, nasty pool, leaking feces from toilet, crack pipe in bed that clearly wasn't changed between guests, etc. They seem to have a LOT of experiences where housekeeping isn't cleaning the rooms AT ALL, or just superficially cleaning, which is gross and unsafe.
It's your show, I was just trying to help by pointing out management may have tried to do a snowjob on you based on the large quantity of negative reviews, so you didn't have a repeat of the thread from this year's show with lots of negative attendee experiences. Shows are hard, I get that. I'm not implying you don't care, exactly the opposite. I posted the review excerpts because I thought you WOULD WANT to know about them.

Guys this is the old Pintastic thread. Let’s move forward to 2023 thread.
Is the hotel further for people coming up from the south? Yes
Is it closer for people coming down from the north? Yes
Is it a great location and a great fit for Pintastic? Yes
As far as EM games, we love all pinball machines! Like any other show we are limited to what people want to bring for others to enjoy. Lots of people love EM’s and that’s great. A part of our history. Pintastic is about the love of all things pinball. Hope to see you all in September.

Why are you quoting me (TWICE)? I haven't posted any additional info about the new hotel for your next show since you DMed me upset about it, just like I said I wouldn't. Taking another snide jab at ME (using a post I made 53 days ago that you LITERALLY saw 53 days ago, because you replied just below it - the very next 53-day-old post) in the guise of moving others to your other thread without the negative new location hotel reviews from current guests was unnecessary.
