They go fast because it's a big one.  $71.00/night this year

See you guys down there again this year ... it is always a good time

[ajm1961]

Reserved my room this week. Finally was able to get one reservation at OCA discounted price for all nights through the hotel directly! I would suggest this is the way to go rather than going through the Holiday Inn central reservation.

For those interested, here is the hotel's phone number: 1-440-238-8800

Booked! Gonna be fun again! 

[sidarnold]

Made a reservation this afternoon. Rooms are limited now - service rep did some footwork and I got a room for the 4 nights. I would suggest if you thinking of attending to make a phone call now as it seems they are running out of room nights.

Hey all,

I just booked my room for 21-23 November 2014.
They keep adding blocks of rooms as they get booked.
The room rate I got was $69 per night plus tax,
so for 3 nights including taxes for a room with 2 beds it is $241.17 (USD)
or $120 per person if sharing the room, which I always do.

For recent information, including a trip to the Cleveland Aquarium Friday morning,
check out the forum here:

So, who is going this year ?

[limed]

  Most of us have booked our rooms when they first came up. I think there is about 6 rooms
that was booked ,but most of the guy's that are going down have been to Ohio Extravaganza,
that's why we booked , we know how fun it is and the deals and the people we meet.

 we know how fun it is and the deals and the people we meet.

A few years ago, we had quite a few from KWAS go, but last year not so many,
so I will have to get on it again to see how many will go this year

By the way, it was nice to see you at the CAOAC convention in May

[limed]

  We all made it down safe. lots of fish to buy, so far I got blue eye albino long fins (very long fins)pleco's
Long fin Green dragon plecos, Charcoal rilli shrimp.  Already gone to Cleveland Aquarium behind the scene tour,  4 talks so far and 5 talks tomorrow and lots of other thing.
