The girl then confirmed we were on the list and they would call the following week to book our room..............she never did. We booked across the street for $5 more than we paid this year.

Everybody is getting so damn greedy anymore that it's really taking the fun out of everything. And believe me, the more I have to pay for hotels, etc. the less I spend at the show. And with the show adding another day it means another night in the hotel, so there goes that money.
Rich, when I received the call, I mentioned that I had been thinking of calling them as I hadn't heard. I was told that anyone calling ahead of time was put on the bottom of the list!! I was the first call she made and got the room at $149/night which is still too much, especially since we stay for 5 nights!!! We are also booked at the hotel across the street. Just haven't decided just what we're doing yet.

Since the hotel across the street was only $5 more than what we paid for 2 nights this year, we went with them, plus added the 3rd night for only $58. All 3 nights averaged out for a little over $100 a night. I can deal with that. I'm not playing games with hotels. I've stayed in Chambersburg before at some nice hotels that cost half of what I'm paying now. I just prefer the closer ones, especially if the weather is bad. But if the closer hotels are pulling stunts like "moving you to the bottom of the list", then I'm done with that hotel. Never did get a call and when they do call, they're going to get a resounding NO from me.
