Re: So what's the verdict-Bloomington?
If they charged $8 a night for parking then it makes our hotel an even better deal than I originally calculated. For the 2 of us the dorm room would have been $54 a night plus $8 for parking which entitled us to 2 beds and a trip down the hall to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Our hotel room was $54.95 for the first 2 nights and $89.99 for the 3rd. which included free parking and breakfast (OK, so it is hotel breakfast food but it is food). We stayed about 2 1/2 miles from the show so we were there in about 10 minutes. And I waited until 3 weeks before the event to try and get a hotel room and there were plenty available. It is absolutely true that there needs to be better signage or something to help connect the 2 swap fields. And there needs to be enforcement of the no parking on the swap field if the vehicle is not being used for sales. Probably a third of both fields had cars and trucks parked on a spot with no table or indication that it was necessary for sales. We park our van on the spot but put a sale table in front of it and use it all day long to retrieve inventory. Too many around us were just parked and locked.
