They indicated they would understand if you want to cancel

Probably just staying at Holiday Inn since I'm booked there. I'm only sleeping there anyways. If I hadn't booked yet then Embassy Suites it is.

This is going to split us up into two groups. We've done that already.

You know, I think I will just cancel my HI reservation and not bother. Depending how things work out this year, maybe I will come next year. This is the kind of decision making that has caused us many problems in the past and it looks like we are still at it. The opinion of two board members? And now everyone who has booked the HI will have to change? No thanks. Odd that Mark didn't have the courtesy to post here about this and maybe ask opinions from others about any issues at the HI before changing. --Bob

Thanks Charlie. It wasn't an easy decision for us to change hotels. Once we got confirmation from our hotel contact directly of the conditions we knew we had to change. HI staff understood and plan to renovate later in 2025 and hoped we'd consider them in the future.

Bright side there is bar at embassy suites!

All,

Trust me, I did not take the proposal of a change lightly, nor do I believe did other members of the board. We've built relationships over the years there, however in receiving the feedback we did and scouring recent online reviews, I believe the board made the best decision for us this year. We discussed all the issues with the hotel and they understand our concerns. They are working hard addressing these issues and preparing for a mass renovation of their facility at the end of this year. By all means, if you do not want to change your existing reservation, you are fine. I believe you can join us at the Embassy Suites, however I don't believe those staying at the Embassy Suites can frequent the old hotel's bar without a parking pass.

Regards,
Mark

For what it is worth?

I was the one who initially raised concerns over HI after multiple members from my local Corvette club would not even stay the first of multiple nights after what they discovered during their visit this past fall. No hot water, handles coming off in their hands, mold, dehumidifiers going 24/7 to deal with the dampness, etc, etc.

I realize the frustration with having to change things in Feb. I am no longer a member of the board, so I?ll be frank in saying we all ought to be supporting the board?s decision to make this change. The flip side of the decision would have been to expose us to run-down facilities for five days and four nights - would those complaining about the change have wanted that?

Come on folks - these guys give up more hours than you could know to keep this club alive and vibrant, so when they make a tough decision with our interests in mind, how about a little understanding and support!!!
