Which is the best hotel in Valley Forge?
- Thread starter X Breaker
- Start date
Stay right there where they are having the event. The Sheraton, or Radisson or whatever they call it now....not cheap, but you never have to leave.
If you seearch the posts about this from last year, I gave a little list of some great rooms to play at close by the Expo....

Richard, the Scanticon and Radisson Hotels are the two lodging facilities under the same roof as the Valley Forge Convention Center, the venue site. They are both filled up and have no vacancies at this time.
I stayed at the Hilton one year and found it to be undesirable. It is an older building, and when you get off the elevator, be prepared to walk down a maze of four to six sets of hallways before you get to the door of your room. Though it is advertised as being "close" to the Valley Forge Convention Center, it is about a 10-minute drive due to the congestion in that neck of the woods. I did not like this spot for 109 bucks per night plus tax.
Jimmy Reid once stayed at the the Homestead Suites right up the street from the Valley Forge Convention Center, which is probably the CLOSEST, IMHO. It is fairly new and clean:

MANY folks LOVE the Sheraton, about a quarter-mile away. This too is close to the venue site. The rooms are dreamy, with comfortable beds. This would be another good choice. Those I know who have stayed at this Sheraton gave it five stars!
Just as an FYI to those who haven't been to the Super Billiards Expo, it attracts thousands of attendees per day. For those who are driving, the parking at the Valley Forge Convention Center fills up to the brim, especially during the DAYTIME hours. If you're competing in one of the tournaments, you had better plan on getting there well ahead of time. Parking can take a a little more time than you might anticipate, sometimes resulting in a long walk before you even enter the front door. Comfortable shoes are also an asset at the SBE. Oh, yeah, and if you're thinking about checking out the action table on the lower level, the chairs fill up quickly as the days progress. Bring yourself one of those nice folding What-a-Chairs. You'll be glad you did!

Hope this helps!

Jannie,
Thank you so very much.
I will have a lot of cues and what not there to showcase at my booth so it is very important that I stay at a hotel close by.
I read that they have rooms reserved for vendors but I have yet received the package Dawn sent me so I am not sure. I think I better call the Radisson to find out.
I will be looking forward to meeting you again.
Take care,
Richard

I would go along with this suggestion if you can't get under the same roof. I stayed there one year. The prices are reasonable and you get a little kitchenette along with the room.
The one just outside of Valley Forge. i.e. King of Prussia.
Im staying down the road at the best western LOL
jam's right, bring chairs
jam, speaking of chairs, last year some guy offered another $100 for his chair. we got there early every day for a front row seat, as i like to be close to my money
you were actually sitting across from me, i was kind of behind the breaker, and you were running the list. ill have to introduce myself this year. if you ppl dont bring a chair, get there early, otherwise your back and legs will be shot. word of caution, if your going to be drinking while sitting, get up and walk around once in awhile. i know a certain individual that just sat and drank while betting in the pit, and when he got up at the end of the night, he could barely walk
take care,
joey
