Hey P5 alive, it is not locked...

 

[P5Alive]

Thanks for creating.

I'm looking for anyone in the area of Bradenton to shed some light as to the kind of area this is. e.i. Is it the kind of place where we can sleep at night with BOTH eyes closed or do I have to pack a piece and a pit bull. The rooms in this area are cheaper than Brandon and it's south of the park which is convenient for us traveling from the south. The beaches are also very close which is a big plus in my book.

Information for Bradenton accomodations have been previously posted (on another thread) so I didn't even bother with.

I'm curious to know where IPMCSFL members are planning on staying so as to make the rollouts to and from the park more organized. I also think the organizing of the hotel parties will be easier as well.

It would also make it easier to gather together for a night out on the town.

All hotel information was compiled from expedia.com and hotel.com. If you have any questions..."LOOK IT UP YOURSELF!!!"

I live in tennessee, so i am not familiar with the area or the hotels... do any of the hotels around there have secured and covered parking... my car stays indoors now and never see rain, I know being in florida and the trip down there I will probably hit some rain, but if I can I still would like to park in a covered lot...

I sent Susan an email about reserving a room yesterday, and got a read receipt but no response. Is La Quinta full?

 

[CX92ENVY]

laquinta is not full! we are looking into it cause we needed to book 10 rooms by the 21st to secure that rate and only 2 were booked so we are trying to get alittle more time.

As far as those other hotels, Well all the st pete/ pinellas park ones are GHETTO with a big capital G. The treasure island one or ellington ones should be fine. We picked the other one to try to get a bigger group at one hotel and it was closer for all ways to meet as it is off I-4 and I-75 and it seemed the people from up north had the furthest drive. also those rates didnt matter how many people in a room as others usually charge extra for more than 2 people.

 

[D-rock240]

Allright I will try calling this time instead of email.
