Have we decided on a hotel that most of us will stay at?

Here’s some info from earlier in the thread (John Burger’s post provided a link to registration, rather than the hotel)

We've negotiated a special rate of $122/night for our fellow Shopsmith Owners at the nearby Courtyard by Marriott. Click here to book now or use the word "SHOPSMITH" when you call (937) 890-6112.

Has anyone been able to reserve a room at the special rate? The link says there are no rooms available. My wife tried calling the hotel directly but they didn't seem to know anything about it. They did say that a code might be needed to do it online but the app doesn't ask for a code. If they're all booked at the special rate that's ok, the regular rate is only a little more and they do have rooms available on those days.

Let me check to see if the hotel can help us address this.

Ed,

We got confirmation from the hotel that they’ve added rooms for the Shopsmith group rate. If you’re still unable to get them to adjust your reservation, send a PM with the details and I can pass that onto our group sales contact there.

Thanks John. I'll try again.

Glad to hear you'll be particpating!

I am sad to say I will not be able to attend. I was looking forward to meeting all of you in person and getting time at Shopsmith during this one-time special event. My wife reminded me we already have another event to attend that Saturday and Sunday here in Oregon when I started looking for airline tickets to Dayton. Oops. To all, enjoy the event and I look forward to hearing about it.
