Ed/Rick,

Made hotel reservations today. I'll not be bringing any of my 1/18th Porsche 928's (well, I COULD bring one maybe), but I'm 99% sure Jim Heisick will be bringing his blk/blk '91 GT with about 50K miles of race track driving under it's belt!!

I might like it but not sure Tambra will:

Edison Hotel reviews:
Terrance12/01/2014
It is still a whorehouse you can still get what you want from the place if you have the right amount
Regina N04/13/2010
I love the fact that it is the oldest hotel in Pittsburgh, the elevator does need a gentlemen to crank you up and down. That is nostalgic, yes there is a bar with exotic dancers on a stage. You can take it … more
A Yahoo Local User04/13/2010
A hotel located in downtown Pittsburgh for \$60. Whats the catch? It is a whorehouse, literally. From the moment we checked in, we knew exactly what we were getting into. In the lobby, there is a door that takes you straight to the strip club. Also, there was a small store right inside the lobby with 8" heels and clothing you would find on only a stripper. Not to mention, strippers were pouring in and out of the hotel rooms all night long. I should probably add that our room was the most out-dated hotel room I have yet to see in all of my years. Not to mention, I couldnt help but imagine what sort of activity has taken place on the bed prior to our arrival. I will admit, if it were not for the issue of cleanliness, I would possibly stay there again. ONLY because it is located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh and costs \$60 per night. That is THE only reason.. and thats still a maybe.

outstanding Gary, looking forward to seeing you. You can register your MB directly through PVGP, and park it on the lawn. That group, if you recall is right next tour Porsche group.

Tony - Tambra will definitely not like it!

Also, great news - the most special of the special continue to commit. Spoke with Roger today, and we will indeed have the Club Sport.

I am continuing to work on getting more historic cars here for the event.

We have a pretty strong list so far - a bevy of 78s and 79s,85s, 86.5s, 89GTs, 91 GTs, a GTS, and working very hard to try to get #1 and/or #6 (Jim I sent you an email the other day to follow up).

Tony,

I made reservations here: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel...ad-waterfront/

Space is available (even on points), and it is about 4-5 miles from Schenley Park.

Gary, why not wait until the official Hotel for the PVGP is set? (it may, I just don't know) But, I think it's usually up in Cranberry and would be a much more convenient location for all the out of town 928 owners to group together. Friday night is the PCA gathering at Double Wide in Cranberry and Saturday night after the International Car Show at Schenley Park the 928 group (and others) get together at Quaker Steak and Lube in Cranberry for dinner and drinks.

Also, although Myself and Ed will have to be at Schenley Park very early in the morning on Sat and Sun so we can't lead you into the city. Otto and Robin (and Steve G one year) have made their way from Cranberry (North of Pittsburgh) relatively easy. It's not that bad when you get to the park around 9 or 10.

Just a thought for all the 928 group from out of town. It would be awesome if all our 928 friends were all together.

Thank you Gary, Much better pricing than over at the Sheraton at Station Sq. Appears they have jacked up there prices for the PVGP weekend. Lets see what Ed and Rick come up with so we can all stay at one hotel ? This was the best event we attended last year and this year is shaping up to be even better T

There are many Hotels in Cranberry on RT 228 where The Double Wide Grill and Quaker Steak and Lube are located.

Courtyard Pittsburgh North/Cranberry Woods
Pittsburgh Marriott North <-------THIS ONE WAS PCA'S HOTEL LAST YEAR WITH SPECIAL RATES. DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS YEAR.
Home2 Suites by Hilton
Hilton Garden Inn

I'll wait to see what hotel is set as the official hotel. Would be great to have most of the 928s there together.

Hi Guys - what Rick said.
I usually pin down the hotel in Feb/Mar. I will do so earlier this year, and it will likely be the same hotel as last year Pittsburgh Marriott North in Cranberry Twp PA. They typically have plenty of rooms, so not much to fear in that regard, and the price is very reasonable - I think it was around $115 +/- last year.
More to follow.
for now, its off to the Daytona 24

I vote for the shabby chic of the Holiday Inn Express Cranberry.

A stone's throw from an Eat N Park and a car wash and it has a parking lot suitable for repair sessions.

Don't try and fool us Otto. You just want Robin to be close to the Firestone so that she can make some extra money. I know she's retired, but Brunhilde could always need a little something.

Rick,

Won't be staying at the Marriott Cranberry. I had a bad experience there 2 years ago, and the staff was totally non-apologetic and nearly useless in trying to correct it. I'd made a reservation for a room for 2 people with two queen beds in April, which they had gladly accepted. When I got there about 3:00 on Friday, they said "we have no more rooms with two beds, so we've moved you to a king size bed". THAT was unacceptable to me, as the owner of a '91 GT was rooming with me, not my wife!! They simply said' "that's all we have, as there is a wedding reception here and they filled up the two queen bed rooms'. Asked for Supervision, and got the same story from her.

I don't accept or do further business with a hotel that doesn't honor their commitments.

And, the Courtyard is cheaper, closer to the Park, and going to from Cranberry for the Double Wide gathering is not a problem.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I completely understand Gary. Looking forward to seeing you, no matter where you are staying!
