MCACN Host Hotels; DoubleTree & Embassy Links

[bashton]

<span style="font-style: italic">I am pleased to announce that we have again made special arrangements for MCACN participants and spectators with both the DoubleTree O'Hare and the Embassy Suites O'Hare to serve as our Official Host Hotels for the 2012 MCACN show.

Both of these hotels are directly across the street from the convention center.

The DoubleTree will serve as party central, with our special reception kicking things off on Friday. The rate is $95 per night and they will offer $6 daily parking with in/out priviledges. Last year we occcupied all but 5 rooms here, so you can imagine how much fun place this one is! Here is a direct link to their MCACN booking page;

The Embassy Suites is a bit quieter overall, and they include a great full cooked to order breakfast. This is an all suites hotel, so you will get a fold-out couch in the adjoining room for your kids or friends. Rates here are $109 for a King, and they also offer the $6 daily parking with in/out priviledges.

Here is the direct link for booking;

Both of these hotels are geared up and ready. They have nice work-out rooms, beautiful pools and also both have hot-tubs. They are both very family freindly, so bring the whole gang!

<span style="font-weight: bold">I highly recommend booking your rooms now</span>, as we sold out both hotels and an additional hotel last year several weeks before the show.

We are also firming up arrangements with a third host hotel, The Crowne Plaza, and once information is confirmed, it will also be posted.

THANKS;

Me too, this will be my first time, really excited about the show and meeting you guys.

[bashton]

To make sure we are able to accomodate everyone, and since we sold out both of our host hotels well in advance last year, we have added a THIRD host hotel, the Crowne Plaza- O'Hare.

This one is also right across the street from the convention center, on the corner of North River and Balmoral. They are offering our MCACN guests a rate of $87.00 per night and daily parking at $10. Here is a direct link to book your rooms at the Crowne Plaza- O'Hare;

Wanted to let everyone know I received my latest reservations report from the DoubleTree and the Embassy Suites and was blown away by how many rooms are already booked. I know it may be hard to think about November, since it isnt even summer yet!

Anyway, as most of us know, the DoubleTree is pretty much party central and MCACN HQ for the show, and so if you want to be sure to get roooms there, I highly recommend booking them now.

Thanks and keep those entries coming!

Excellent; will be great having you join us again.

If you want to be right in the middle of the action, I recommend booking your room at the DoubleTree O'Hare right now. We have the entire hotel, but at the rate we are going, it will be sold out very soon.

For those looking for a bit quieter atmosphere, (and a great free cooked to order breakfast), book at the Embassy Suites, right next door.

If you want to keep your rig close by, book at the Crowne Plaza, again, right across the street.

There are direct links to each of these hotels on our website. Don't be left out, as all three of these hotels are geared up and ready for us and all are very conveniant for our participants and spectators!

Here is a MCACN hotel update for everyone;

Those who have been with us in the past know that the DoubleTree - O'Hare indeed becomes MCACN Central, with the entire hotel being overrun by car freaks, celebrities and even guys like Dru, who will be happy to welcome you to the &quot;MCACN Lobby Lounge&quot; with a cooler full of, um...beverages. The DT tells us we are getting close to selling out, which means we are tracking WAY ahead of where we were at this time last year. Botttom line is, if you want to be in the middle of the action, book your room now. Here is a direct link to the DoubleTree O'Hare MCACN group to sign up;

http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/group...ml?WT.mc_id=POG (http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/C/CHIDTDT-MCA-20121113/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG)

If you prefer calling the hotel directly, call 847-292-9100. You MUST say you are with the MCACN group, or you will be told the hotel is sold out. We have an excellent rate of $95, $6 daily parking and that is where we have our Friday night welcome reception.

We also have rooms blocked at the Embassy Suites O'Hare, ($109 with $6 parking) and the Crowne Plaza O'
Hare, ($87 with $10 daily parking) and all three hotels are right across the street from the convention center,

Anyway, we recommend you book your rooms now so you can take advantage of the great pricing and location, regardless of which hotel you choose.

Thanks for all of the incredible support. We are about 60 days out and the response this year is better than ever and I can personally guarantee we are once again &quot;raising the bar&quot; due to your continued support! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Although, I have been tempted the past two years to see what they are all about. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[bashton]

Hehehehehe, I believe that would be at the Hilton?

The good thing is, whether you stay at the DoubleTree, the Embassy or the Crowne Plaza, each is really nice and all three are right across the street.

I wandered over there last year. I was too intrigued to not go over there. All I can say is you should go to YouTube or Google and look up Furfest. Some very interesting things will come up. I stood beside myself as I watched what was going on. I may have my camera in hand this time...

Keep an eye out for the &quot;Furries&quot;, we saw a bunch in the cafeteria out front of the Stevens center a couple times.
If some of you want to do double duty while in town check here... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Midwest FurFest 2012 (https://www.furfest.org/page/hotel)

Lots of Furries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcWDw5JNKmQ&amp;feature=related)

I have been informed that the DoubleTree O'Hare is now basically sold out. Can you imagine what it is going to be like over there? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Not to worry; we have availibility at both the Embassy Suites O'Hare and the Crowne Plaza O'Hare, which are both right across the street.

Here is the direct link for both hotels to book your rooms. I recommend you do it now!

Thanks to all for the continued support. This is going to be a great year for MCACN!

Latest hotel update; as of last night, the DoubleTree is sold out and the Embassy Suites is down to about 20 remaining rooms.

We still have good availability at the Crowne Plaza, but at the rate we are going, I am sure they will be filling up too.

Remember, all three of our host hotels are conveniently located right across the street and are offering MCACN participants and spectators some great deals, so if you haven't already, book your room now!

Embassy Suites O'Hare is now also sold out.

We do have MCACN rooms blocked at the Crowne Plaza O'Hare, so better snag those while you can! Here is a direct link for the Crowne;
