Ed,
Curious what is the situation is that you mentioned around the Crowne
Plaza? I'm from Ohio and as far as I know the area (The Oregon
District) where the shooting took place is not a bad area. In fact I
think the restaurants and bars in that area are more upscale. There is a
very nice Thai restaurant (Thai 9) in that area where K9PG and his
friends go to every year during the Hamvention.
That area of downtown is probably safer when compared to any other major
city in the US. What happened in Dayton was bad but it could have
happened anywhere .

Given the situation around the Crowne Plaza, it would seem that Ubering back
and forth to one of the other options would save money, be safer, and probably
provide a better night's sleep. I hope to be there in 2020 and that's what I
plan to do.

Well that was fast.
That's never stopped me though; every year, for the last 5 years, I've gotten
in by sniping cancellations, especially the week and even the day before
hamvention. It might also help to have IHG points and status (which my wife and
I obtained after churning a few IHG credit cards). I'll betcha this year is no
different.
If all else fails, there's a few nice AirBNBs near downtown within walking
(stumbling) distance. :)

UPDATE: After the 2019 Crowne Plaza experience I conducted a
thorough review of all available facilities in the Dayton/Xenia
area including several site visits. I also met with key stake
holders and they assure
me
that the security issues with the Crowne have been dealt with.
Local authorities have given assurances that there will be
improvements
during our
stay for 2020. The adjoining parking garage work will be completed
in
time
for our arrival. Therefore contester activities will stay at the
Crowne
for
2020.
*** Contest University USA 2020 *** will be held in Dayton - all

the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, May 14, 2020.

September

If you stayed at the Crowne Plaza this past May (Dayton 2019) and
you
filled
out a 2020 Crowne Plaza hotel reservation form (left under your
door on check-out day) and then dropped it off at the Crowne Plaza

your 2020 Dayton

If you would like to make a reservation for Dayton 2020 - the
remaining Crowne Plaza rooms will be available for reservations

so
please
plan your reservation submission accordingly.
