[CQ-Contest] Room Reservations for Dayton 2020 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Dayton

[Sterling Mann]

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. :)
