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

[Jeff Clarke]

It has more rooms 399 vs 287 and more conference rooms 19 vs 12 than the 
Crowne Plaza. Plus I bet the parking is better. It's sometimes a 
challenge to get a spot in the parking garage at the CP with the 
International Food Festival going on at the Dayton Convention Center the 
same weekend of Dayton.
