Website says: CANCELLATION POLICY:DPDISXR4Ti wrote:
Not until checkout, HOWEVER, unlike in previous years, if for any reason you need to cancel your reservation, it must be cancelled 2 or more days previous to the reservation. Note that this is different from most hotel reservations where you can usually cancel up until 4PM on the day of the reservation; needs to be 48+ hours advance notice here.
If you need to modify or cancel your reservation, please do so before 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on Friday, 1 June, 2007 or your credit card will be billed for a minimum of 1 night plus tax
Also right now they have only double-bed rooms in non-smoking. The King and Queen rooms are all smoking rooms now.

Mike- That sounds like their general cancellation policy. They're supposed to have a different set of rules applied for our group rate, but it's possible they aren't enforcing them. To be on the safe side, should you need to cancel, try to do so several days in advance.merkurdriver wrote:Website says: CANCELLATION POLICY:

Well I will not be able to goto Carlisle this year. I will be moving into a house. So my room is going to be available to any one that wants it. I really want to go but with moving expences, I can not afford to get my car up to the trip and move and pay for the trip itself. If you are looking for a room. PM me. And I will work with the hotel with you to transfer the room over. I have a nonsmking room.

It'll be considered for sure. But really, it came down to two issues at the Holiday Inn that caused the problems - one, "our" collective fault, and the other, the hotel's fault.merkurdriver wrote:Radisson next year anyone?
#1 A few people doing burn-outs on the "back straight-away" of the hotel property put the hotel on notice they "we" could be a problem and heightened their "alert level" as a result. Let's face it, it's not like our cars are going to be mistaken for yellow mustangs, so they knew it was "us".
#2 Was mostly the hotel's fault. They had agreed to locate all of us in that wing of rooms that face northeast over-looking the parking lot. Had they done that, they most likely would not have gotten complaints from the guests trying to actually go to sleep at 2AM.
Generally speaking though, you gotta keep in mind, over the past couple years there have been major issues with "car show people" causing problems at all the local hotels. The police are going to be called in a lot quicker AT ANY HOTEL if there is a problem. Just because we didn't have the police called in to the Radisson when we stayed there in 2000-2003 doesn't mean it won't happen if we stay there in 2008.

Colin, from what I understand somebody's car leaked gas during the MCA dinner.
As for the hotel itself I thought it was the best we've stayed at since I started coming to Carlisle in 2000. I was sure to tell them how much we enjoyed the hotel, especially after hearing about some of the incidents during the weekend. However, the hotel could have dealt with things better.
There is no doubt that if they wanted to alleviate problems with non-car-show guests they should have put ALL club members (both MCA and YMR) in the wings facing the lots. Interestingly I should note that our room faced the outdoor pool and all we could hear all night was the pounding music from the bar. For the hotel to criticize us for making noise is a little hypocritical if you think about it.
To whoever deemed it prudent to do burnouts and donuts in the parking lot on Saturday night, whether it be in retaliation or just to get some kicks, WHAT THE HELL? Don't get us all in trouble because you can't behave! This kind of nonsense is unneccessary and only serves to give the MCA a bad name. Plus, it only increases the chances of someone getting hurt. So in short...knock it off!
Despite the criticisms of the hotel, I still believe it to be the best place we've stayed yet and hope to be there again next year. No matter where we choose to stay though, we'll be there.

I liked the Radisson and the H Inn. The Rad had some really bad food. Remember the cardboard burger pattys shaped like a pole dancers paistie?
Since when did Merkurs become able to do burn-outs?
