US Open Press Release

I still haven't gotten a room so I guess I won't be staying at the host hotel :( It doesn't matter much anyway, it doesn't sound like I'm going to really need a room for anything other than a cat nap & shower. :p

That's so true, Timberly. Most don't spend too much time in their rooms because there's so much happening, whether at the Chesapeake Conference Center or at Q-Masters pool room. :)

I did a Google search this morning, hoping to find out the name of a place up the street from the venue site which I remember advertised a weekly rate of $275. It was within walking distance of the Chesapeake Conference Center. If I am not mistaken, I believe Kid Delicious stayed there one year and said it was clean and nice.

There are also two other facilities which offer WEEKLY rates: Sun Suites and Extended Stay.

When I examined the pictures of the Sun Suites facility, I was hoping it was the same one Kid Delicious stayed at, but I can't tell by the picture. Check it out: http://www.sunsuites.com There is a Sun Suites located at 1520 Crossways Boulevard, right around the corner from the Chesapeake Conference Center. They advertise weekly rates under $300.

I wish Brady Behrman or a local from this area would post up the NAME of that place up the street with the weekly rates. It would be a godsend for many a person gearing up for this prestigious event.

Here's a list of ones the Chespeake Conference Center promotes: http://www.chesapeakeconference.com/accom.html

And then there are these: http://reservations.conventioncente...r Hotels&address_lat_lng=36.788466,-76.231683

Good luck, Timberly. Looking forward to seeing you there! We're going to have fun! :)

You're AWESOME! Thank you sooooo much. I was really dreading looking for a room, esp not being familiar with the area. You just saved me a ton of time & headache! I went ahead & reserved a room at the Sun Suites. Knowing it's that close to the center, I had to check it out. I don't know what their weekly rates are but nightly rates were $99. In a tourist area like that, I really don't see finding anything much cheaper without having to drive quite a bit away. Thank you again for getting all this info to me! :)

The queen suite is $79 & the double is $99, & the rest are rates w/a 7 day min. We need two beds but I'll call them & ask them if there's any specials or anything else for those dates cheaper than the $99.

Yep, $99 it is... lol, she didn't even ask the dates.... she just gave me the rate... said the double bed room is $99 a night for the whole month of Sept.... If my roommate wants to look around for something cheaper, she's more than welcome... I would just really like to be w/in walking distance. BTW, how far is the pool room from the venue?

Hi Timberly. The pool room,
Q-Master Billiards, is about a 10-15 minute drive from the venue.

Thanks everyone esp Jennie for your help & all the time you spent looking around for me. The folks on this board are the BEST! ;)

Damn I was just about to post, about the red roof inn, walter helped also ;-)

I got a slightly cheaper rate on their websire than expedia with the corp rate:

Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Sep 18 Sep 19 Sep 20 Sep 21 Sep 22 Sep 23 Sep 24
48.39 48.39 48.39 48.39 48.39 52.79 52.79

But this was a week or two ago (if you only offered that spa before Wendy! ;-).

Sounds like a good location though

Cheers

You probably signed up for single occupancy whereas I had to go with double. :rolleyes: It's still a good rate for 2 people in a tourist area!

Well, if you ever need a place to crash... :D

I stayed at the Red Roof one year when I was hotel hopping. It was okay, after all, all you're going to do is shower and maybe, just maybe catch some Zzzzz's.

Oh, for those of you who aren't staying at the Holiday Inn, you can still come on over for breakfast (7AM - 11AM I think) where you'll probably see a lot of the players and you can also get to hear some good stories too.

For those of you who are staying at the Holiday Inn and if you didn't already know, you can eat breakfast for free by joining the Priority Club.

The Holiday Inn's breakfasts are full buffets.

What is the airport to fly in to Chesapeake?

I always drive there, but I think it is Norfolk International, about 20 minutes away.

When are you guys flying in?
I'm driving down from PA Thur night... might even leave Wed night. I had Fri the 16th off for the world summit but I'm not going. I took Fri the 23rd off for the open... I might see if I can work fri the 16th & get Thur the 22nd off & head down Wed night after work. I've got a friend that might have a room to themselves until Fri. If that's the case then I'll try to get down on Wed night & room with them until Fri.

It doesn't sound like the airport is very close & will end up being a fortune. PM me your flight details & I'll pick you up.
