tnpyeron3 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Anybody else have to wait around for a room at the match Hotel, It took over 3 hours for mine and when I got into the room their were empty beer bottles and coffee cups on the floor and desk. I waited 1 1/2 hours for my room, only for them to tell me that they didn't have the King non-smoking that I reserved 2 1/2 months ago. I ended up with a double smoking. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when it is said "you know how to take a reservation, you just don't know how to keep a reservation." Plus, the elevator we were on got stuck on the 3rd floor and wouldn't open. We ended up waiting 5 minutes before the damn thing went back down to the 1st floor. Nothing like carrying your gear and luggage up 2 flights of stairs, halfway down a hall, and up another flight of stairs. But on the good side, the match is wonderful, the venue is wonderful. Even if my shooting today wasn't. Somehow I pulled off 3 no-shoots in one stage(stage 15), gun jam(stage 14) and 1 no-shoot (stage 12). Definately not the best way to start. But, hey, this is my first nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Sat down, gun was in the mud. Guessing the bulge of keys in my pocket (normally on the front seat of the truck) simply pushed the gun out of the holster. Had thought to lock the gun, but didn't think that was needed. Wrong. Sorry to hear that bro... I almost did the same thing at the IL Sec as I was getting up I fealt it start to move and got my hand on it before it popped out. I now lock it when I have to sit. Again. very sorry to hear that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dame Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 There were 2 unopened wine bottles left in the room, but I don't drink wine. I found some shooters that did though. That'd be mine. Hope you all enjoyed it. I also left a pillow in room 377. If you get that, could you drop it off at the desk? didn't notice any other pillows when i switched rooms.

davidball Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We switched hotels as well . . . for many of the same reasons. The Radisson has become a refugee camp for USPSA shooters fleeing the Holiday Inn. Here's what we had at the Holiday Inn: A wait for our room Dark hallways Clean, but not really nice rooms Fire department visit to check for a gas leak Cars broken into first morning Broken elevators Here's what we got at the Radisson Same room rate Lit hallways Big clean room Sleep Number beds Plasma TV Patrolled parking lot Peace of Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resjudicata Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Damn, I wonder how the Best Western is in Owasso. I be there next month.Chris C. I don't know what that hotel in particular is like but I'm at the Holiday Inn Express right by it in Owasso and the area is fine. Once you get into Tulsa you get the normal big city stuff including the bad parts. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I decided to stay at the Comfort Suites. Pretty nice rooms and cheaper than the Holiday Inn. A completely non-smoking facility. About 15 minutes from the range. May try the Best Western in Owasso next time. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying in Owasso because I just want to eat, shoot, eat, sleep. Chris C. Edited September 11, 2007 by Chris Conley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am going to close this thread, as we currently have two threads going on the same subject. (actually, there is a thread going with 'match reports" for each of the three divisions being shot at the nationals). CLOSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
