This is an older “ex-Holiday Inn” with over 100 rooms. It has a courtyard layout with outdoor pool, restaurant and bar. A very short walk to the Cruise In. Sort of reminds you of a Holidome without the dome. Plenty of trailer parking on site. No additional security. PET FRIENDLY.



Holiday Inn Express
773 Hebron Road
Heath, OH 43056
740-522-0770
877-270-6397
No Rate Offered

This motel did not offer us a good group rate. Their advertised rates for August were over $100 but were willing to give us an $89 rate provided we guarantee purchase of 20 rooms. We did not put up the guarantee. The motel is adjacent to the Quality Inn. A short distance from the Cruise In. NO PETS.

1800-800-8000

Located about 1 mile from the center of Heath. We did not pursue getting a rate from the motel. PET FRIENDLY.





Best Western – Lakewood Inn
122 Arrowhead Blvd.
Hebron, OH 43025
(740) 928-1800
No Rates.

http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt=...cb=KcrUesezDK7



This is a 70 room motel located immediately off the I70 exit 129. New in 1999, they are in the process of switching from the Amerihost chain to the Best Western. Rates were not available. This motel is 7 miles from the Heath area.




Red Roof Inn
I-70 at Lancaster Road/SR 37, Exit #126
10668 Lancaster Road Southwest, Hebron, OH, United States, 43025
Phone: (740) 467-7663
No Rates.

http://www.redroof.com/reservations/...px?searchtype=

This motel is located at I-70 exit #126, the same exit as National Trail Raceway. The track is 2 miles from the motel and 10 miles from Heath. This is a truck stop motel located directly across from a TA truck stop. Exit #126 consists of truck stops and gas stations.



There are many other places to stay in the area. The following link will highlight those in the Newark/Heath area. We considered “The Place Off the Square” in Newark. It is in an attractive “town square” setting 3 miles from Heath owned by the Longaberger basket company. However, it is the only Hotel/Motel in the area. This is something to consider for 2008.

It is the intent of the BPG to give those attending as much information about the area as becomes available. The BPG is working with the Licking County Convention and Visitors Bureau to make your trip to National Trail Raceway as pleasant as possible. We have chosen Heath because of its convenience, location to the track, and services available. Stay tuned for more information.

Didnt take long for the host hotel to sell out.

[stagetwo65]

Anyone who wants to know where the Northeast Crew is staying (regardless of whether you want to join us or so you can stay far away from us!), we are staying at the Quality Inn. :TU:

[BUICK528]

that must be because it's PET FRIENDLY.......... :T:

Anyone who wants to know where the Northeast Crew is staying (regardless of whether you want to join us or so you can stay far away from us!), we are staying at the Quality Inn. :TU:

I just booked my room at the Quality Inn along with the rest of the Northeast Militia! :LAUGH: :TU:

[JOHNNO]

I'm staying where Doug is staying.....

[Yardley]

Curly and I are booked at the Quality Inn!

[8587gn]

Heath is a nice town,to bad those prices will be doubled for the following weekend,The Mopar Nats is the following weekend

[tlivingd]

booked at the Quality Inn. I'll have the laptop to hit up the board and give evening updates to the board...... or another paperweight when I stumble back to the room. did the hampton inn have a whole 5 rooms?

[Mike Atwood]

I forgot to ask if the Quality Inn had free internet.......... gotta have something to do between 2am and 6am.......... :WINK:

[Smartin]

Hampton was supposed to book the whole hotel for us.

[Brad Conley]

Hampton has 75 rooms and we took them all. They were the only motel that would allow us to completely book the whole deal.

[Brad Conley]

that must be because it's PET FRIENDLY.......... :T:


No Jim, it's because they have a stripper pole in the bar...I'm personally looking forward to Doug making use of said pole. Should be very interesting :ROLL: :DOU: :GT:

[Yardley]

I believe John Campbell came up with the great idea to use the Holiday Inn Express parking lot for the burnout contest. Maybe that will teach them a lesson in manners, humility and hospitality.

[Brad Conley]

Guys and Gals,

I just spoke with The Hampton Inn and they DO have rooms left. You MUST tell the clerk you are with the Buick Performance Group and use the code BUI in order to secure a room. Otherwise they will tell you the hotel is sold out. I don't know if someone there missed the message, but I did talk with our contact there just a few minutes ago and he assured me there were rooms available.

Thanks!

[Duane Heckman]

The same thing happened to me when I got my room. The girl on the phone said all the rooms were sold out. When I started quizzing her, she transferred me to someone else and then everything was fine.

Just booked a couple of rooms at the Quality Inn. This looks to be the BIG event to attend this year! It's going to be a good time.:TU:

[paul455]

I just got a call from the manager of the host hotel and he said that there are plenty of rooms still available. I did try to get reservations last night and was told that the hotel was booked, the girl couldn't figure how to make the reservation. You have to call the Hampton direct, the 800 number will not work.

Any way the manager is emailing my confirmation number, now we just hopr we can make it!!

Thats good to see you will be attending Paul..I hope everything is going ok for you and your family. I thought of stopping a couple times while I was driving by to the Hershey Lodge for contract negotiations. I was there over 10 times,but didn't know if you were home. I was going to stop in just to say Hi and see how you are doing..Hope you have a good time at The BPG event..Your family is in my prayers.
Pat

[paul455]

Thanks Pat, Dean has handled the treatments far better than expected. We are going to remain hopeful. If his health allows, he will be going with us to the picnic in the Spring (hint Yardley). We hesitated to make reservation but need this! The next time you are in Hershey, stop at the AACA library, just down the road from the motor lodge. I am there every day from 8 to 4. I hope all is well with you and Dustin.

Lynn

[paul455]

Well we thought we had reservations, it's hard to say. Last night we call, and were told the hotel was booked. The girl took our information and said that some one would call us today if there were any rooms. Paul got a call this morning and was told that there were plenty of rooms and the conf. number would be emailed. When I got home from work I found that the res. dates were wrong. We want to arrive Thursday the 2nd and leave on Sunday, resv. were for Friday to Monday. Call the hotel and was told that the hotel is booked full for Thursday. I kinda find it hard to believe that there are no rooms for Thursday. Now we are waiting again for a phone call from the manager. IS ANY ONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM?

Lynn

[bill lagna]

Got my room at the Quality for thru, fri and Sat nights, is there anything going on weds?

[GS4551970]

whats the rate you guys are getting at the Quality Inn? I called and they said $99 a night . So i made mine at the Hamton Inn

[Brad Conley]

Call the motel direct. DO NOT CALL HAMPTON'S 800 NUMBER!

Hampton Inn Heath/Newark (OH)
1008 Hebron Rd
Heath, OH 43056
740-788-8991

If you have problems with the person that answers the phone, ask to be connected to "Ralph" (Nirav Patel is full name). He is director of sales at this motel and knows what's going on with our group. You will need the code "BUI" to make reservations.

If any of you still have problems, please let me know (PM, email or call 937-642-2026 days) and I'll try to correct things to the best of my ability.

Thanks!

[philip roitman]

$55 per night except Fri and Sat then its $71 I am booked Wed thru Mon. This one is going to be a blast:YA: Oh use AAA if you can!

[BignastyGS]

I have to stop reading this thread or else I will do something foolish...I have to get my car done and then I can maybe attend one year with a car. Sounds like it going to be a blast...

[Duane Heckman]

Pat,
I am formally making this offer, in front of friends and family, that if you attend this event I will pay for one Steak dinner with ALL the trimmings. So now you know where at least one meal will be coming from. Looks like the trip is getting cheaper all the time.
Duane

PS. If you would join our group, you could also eat a lot earlier.:LAUGH:

[GS4551970]

[LARRY70GS]

I just called the Quality Inn. They quoted me 85.00/night. I told them the info I had was 65.00/night. They asked me who told me that was the rate. I told them Moses said it was so:SMART: I gave them his contact number. Then they saw it my way, and gave me the 65.00/night rate. I am booked arriving Wednesday 8/1, and checking out Sunday 8/5

P.S. Dont forget to get the $40 instantly $80 Quality Inn gas rebate. (It's in the mail:YA: )

[opeltwinturbo]

Larry was good enough to direct the Quality Inn clerk to contact me. She was unaware that "Kalik" the motel manager had quoted us the $65 rate. She has now put the infamous "sticky" on the reservation book with the $65 Buick Rate.

[Dana & Beth]

Pat... you know... all your whining reminds me of somebody else around here....:GT:

Bethiepoo :HI:

[Dana & Beth]

PS. If you would join our group, you could also eat a lot earlier.:LAUGH:

Pat... you know... all your whining reminds me of somebody else around here....:GT:

Bethiepoo :HI:

OUCH!!!

Well Bethie It took me 15 years to get myself on a timetable and now I have to follow through with my plan. It pains me selling off real nice parts from my 71,but in the end I am focusing on having a nice daily car a decent 73 driver and a fun racecar. I have been going too many years to Buick shows,functions and such Buickless,and now I am determined to get a car able to be driven and have fun alot more. I have chosen to not do any events this year and focus on getting ALL-PARTS running and maybe even get it to my local track..Have to be ready to kick the slop out of a certain BEIGEWagon now...lol. I appreciate the offers,but I need to put every effort into getting AP done and ready for a cool paint job this summer if fundage is around. I appreciate all the friends offers and that steak is tempting...:LAUGH:

[Dana & Beth]

Close... but wrong whiner :LAUGH:

Pat... love ya dearly... now shuuuuuuuuuuuuush and go work on the car, go sell some parts, a liter of blood... whatever it is you need to do to get AP done :T: so I can kick your :PANTS: in my SANDLEWOOD wagon

Bethiepoo :HI:

[BignastyGS]

For your information...Parts were ordered yesterday as well as some today...I keep getting lighter and lighter...It even looks faster sitting still.. I need the committed people to get the deals finished so I can get my new indestructible rearend for AP...The Wagon's no worry now...I am setting my sights on some 10 second cars now....Woo Hooo..

[tufbuick]

OOOPPPPS....Upside yo head !!!

[Dana & Beth]

Fine Pat... be that way... you are so skeert of me you have to move to a different bracket to run...:WINK:
I'm happy where I am in the 12's you have fun in the 10's...

Bethie-Sue :T:


Oh and the whining comment in not aimed at any of you guys.

[BignastyGS]

I'll still bracket race you and show you how its done...hmmmm now I guess I'll need a throttle stop..to be able to slow down so I can keep pace with DaWagon..You aren't off the hook that easy Bethie....


I'll get you,you Wagon......

[JimRamsey]

The Massholes are all booked for August-- follow the black marks to find their hotel of choice!

[Carl Rychlik]

I just made my reservation(at the Quality Inn) and was told it was going to be $79 dollars a night plus tax. I quickly told them that I read here that it was $65 dollars a night and they quickly accepted that number.

Make sure when you make your reservation,tell them what the rate is listed as.

[Carl Rychlik]

Massholes= burnouts?? since when?
