Cool I'll make sure I say :wave:I'll be there as a coach, but after two back-to-back race weekends, my car will be getting a well-deserved service. Look for me by the coaches "tent" with what most people call the "Captain America" helmet.

baymont is the former amerihost (or is it vice versa). a different hotel than the travelodge.I know others stay at the Baymont Inn (which is former Travelodge/Best Western).
i've never had any problem at the golden pheasant / best western / travelodge / whatever the current name is. not as nice as the baymont, but still serviceable. i stay there when i bring my dogs, very convenient yard area.Also, where are you guys staying... I've heard some really bad stories about the Travelodge that HoD recommends - they used to be Best Western but lost their franchise because they were shut down by inspectors!!
Well, FWIW, everything from a fit-and-finish standpoint was just cheaper/dirtier/older in the Golden Pheasant room I had. Also, the Golden Phesant room didn't have a fridge, and the bedding was less comfy. And if you want a second floor room to get away from people shouting directly outside your window, you have no options at the Golden Pheasant. But the thing that sorta "cemented it" for me was the fact that behind my bed, I could actually see the foundation of the structure; for some reason the flooring wasn't in place back there (that was the truly ghetto part of the room). Now, granted, the Baymont is no Bellagio or Four Seasons (I've had problems there too!), but it's an echelon better than the Golden Pheasant. But who knows --- maybe I just got the hooptiest room in the whole Pheasant complex.i've never had any problem at the golden pheasant / best western / travelodge / whatever the current name is. not as nice as the baymont, but still serviceable. i stay there when i bring my dogs, very convenient yard area.
Ahh ok, with the name changes I got confused which was which. One of the reasons I like the Days Inn is you get a mini fridge, which makes it easy to prebuy and precool your drinks for the track. I put my slightly thawed gel packs in the freezer, drinks in the fridge and just throw it all in a collapsible cooler when I head out.baymont is the former amerihost (or is it vice versa). a different hotel than the travelodge.
baymont is the nicest hotel there.
Both Day's Inn and Baymont (formerly Amerihost) have fridges. I believe some rooms (but not all) at Golden Pheasant have fridges. And fridges are essential for those 106 degree Willlows summers.Ahh ok, with the name changes I got confused which was which.

Good to know. :bow:Both Day's Inn and Baymont (formerly Amerihost) have fridges. I believe some rooms (but not all) at Golden Pheasant have fridges. And fridges are essential for those 106 degree Willlows summers.![]()
I was going to drive up Friday night from San Jose but I was planning to stay in Sacramento - I am re-thinking that idea.Thanks for the feedback guys...
So, anyone up for the caravan from the San Jose/San Mateo area?
Thanks!

they have put fridges into some of the GP rooms. but take it from me, you don't want to use them. they must have done something to them to make them extra noisy. even louder than the rickety air conditioners. after about 3 minutes i unplugged it and threw my food away.Both Day's Inn and Baymont (formerly Amerihost) have fridges.
