Well, for one I know of at least two assaults that took place near the 
CP - including one involving a member of the contesting community who 
got cold-cocked because he refused a request for a cigarette.

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) innear 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
day -
 
 
 
at
 
the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, May 14, 2020.
2020 RESERVATIONS at the Crowne Plaza Dayton open on Monday,
September

2019 at 9 AM EDT. This is the Contest University room block. The
2020
 
 
 
rate
 
is $149.00 per night (same for single or double) plus tax.
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
registration desk, then you should have or will get an email
confirmation (with a confirmation number) from the Crowne Plaza for
your 2020 Dayton
 
 
 
reservation.
 
If you would like to make a reservation for Dayton 2020 - the
remaining Crowne Plaza rooms will be available for reservations
 starting Monday, September 16, 2019 at 9:00 AM EDT (eastern USA 
time).
The GROUP CODE must be used to get in this room block. GROUP CODE
is CON

The quickest way to get in the 2020 Crowne Plaza contest room block
is
 
 
 
via
 
the website below. Starting Monday, September 16, 2019 at 9:00 AM
 
 
 
eastern
 
daylight time (1300 GMT) go to:

 You must use the Contest Group Code CON when you make your 
reservation.
This special Group Code will not work if you try to use it before
9:00
 
 
 
AM
 
EDT on September 16, 2019. Your reservation can only be made
starting
 
 
 
after
 
9:00 AM EDT on Monday, September 16, 2019 and only with the CON
Group

-
 after 9:00 AM EDT on September 16, 2019. 1-800-689-5586 or 
937-229-9853.
As the phones get jammed - your BEST bet is to use the website.
I expect the Crowne Plaza hotel will sell out very very quickly -
so
  
 
please
 
plan your reservation submission accordingly.
