I'm able to go this year and plan on dragging my wife with me. I'm curious about who else is going and if any of you can recommend the Pheasant Run hotel or should we stay somewhere else? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm not going in April. Often cold and rainy. Plus April is more gas, oil and signs and way less soda machines, so I prefer November.

I think Pheasant Run is kind of a dump (aka Pheasant Dump or Pheasant Rundown) but is very convenient. They've remodeled the past few years so maybe it's better now. The carpet used to have rips in it, the drains wouldn't drain, etc. The Hilton Gardens is decent but is sold out. Country Inn has been under construction for remodeling for 2+ years but claim it will be finished in 2 months.  They've being saying 2 months for 2 years.

Enjoy the show...Its a good one!

Glad to hear you'll make the show Harrison..
you just never know what you'll see and as far as weather, again , just don't know?

as far a Pheasant run, they have been updating and if you request to stay in the towers, they are all updated and nice. plus the convenience of just walking out front door to the show grounds is nice!
