Well, for one I know of at least two assaults that took place near the CP - including one involving a member of the contesting community who got cold-cocked because he refused a request for a cigarette.

Ed,

Curious what is the situation is that you mentioned around the Crowne Plaza?  I'm from Ohio and as far as I know the area (The Oregon District) where the shooting took place is not a bad area. In fact I think the restaurants and bars in that area are more upscale. There is a very nice Thai  restaurant (Thai 9) innear that area where K9PG and his friends go to every year during the Hamvention.

That area of downtown is probably safer when compared to any other major city in the US. What happened in Dayton was bad but it could have happened anywhere .

Given the situation around the Crowne Plaza, it would seem that Ubering back and forth to one of the other options would save money, be safer, and probably provide a better night's sleep.  I hope to be there in 2020 and that's what I plan to do.

Well that was fast.

That's never stopped me though; every year, for the last 5 years, I've gotten in by sniping cancellations, especially the week and even the day before hamvention. It might also help to have IHG points and status (which my wife and I obtained after churning a few IHG credit cards). I'll betcha this year is no different.

If all else fails, there's a few nice AirBNBs near downtown within walking
(stumbling) distance. :)

UPDATE: After the 2019 Crowne Plaza experience I conducted a
thorough review of all available facilities in the Dayton/Xenia
area including several site visits. I also met with key stake
holders and they assure
me
that the security issues with the Crowne have been dealt with.
Local authorities have given assurances that there will be
improvements
during our
stay for 2020. The adjoining parking garage work will be completed
in
time
for our arrival. Therefore contester activities will stay at the
Crowne
for
2020.

*** Contest University USA 2020 *** will be held in Dayton - all
day -
at
the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, May 14, 2020.

2020 RESERVATIONS at the Crowne Plaza Dayton open on Monday,
September
16,
2019 at 9 AM EDT. This is the Contest University room block. The
2020
rate
is $149.00 per night (same for single or double) plus tax.

If you stayed at the Crowne Plaza this past May (Dayton 2019) and
you
filled
out a 2020 Crowne Plaza hotel reservation form (left under your
door on check-out day) and then dropped it off at the Crowne Plaza
registration desk, then you should have or will get an email
confirmation (with a confirmation number) from the Crowne Plaza for
your 2020 Dayton
reservation.
If you would like to make a reservation for Dayton 2020 - the
remaining Crowne Plaza rooms will be available for reservations
starting Monday, September 16, 2019 at 9:00 AM EDT (eastern USA time).

The GROUP CODE must be used to get in this room block. GROUP CODE

This special Group Code will not work if you try to use it before
9:00

starting
after
9:00 AM EDT on Monday, September 16, 2019 and only with the CON

-
after 9:00 AM EDT on September 16, 2019. 1-800-689-5586 or 937-229-9853.

As the phones get jammed - your BEST bet is to use the website.

I expect the Crowne Plaza hotel will sell out very very quickly -
so
please
plan your reservation submission accordingly.
