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

[Edward Sawyer]

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. :)
