TIKI-INVASION, Mission Tiki Drive-In Theatre, 8/5 - California Events

' 'Vid Member Joined: Oct 11, 2005 Posts: 107	' 'Vid Posted posted on Thu, Jun 22, 2006 11:12 AM Folks have been asking about lodging for Tiki-Invasion, so I'm posting some links for 3 nearby candidates. Sheraton Suites Fairplex For the discriminating Tiki-Invasion guest, there is the Sheraton Suites Fairplex. The Sheraton is 8 miles away from the drive-in, about a 15 minute drive. The large lobby is done in travertine, brass and mahogany and rooms normally run around $149 to $179 for 2 adults in a king bed. TIKI-INVASION rate is just $109!! It's lovely, luxurious, sparkling clean and very inviting. We loved it, despite the just under 8 mile distance from the drive-in. Staff was courteous and helpful in a corporate brainwashed kind of way, LOL. If you want guaranteed comfort like high thread count sheets, travertine bathrooms, squeaky clean surfaces and library quietness... this is your Tiki-Invasion hotel. Sheraton Link: http://specialoffers.starwoodhotels.com/sheratonsuitesfairplex/so.aqf?PS=PS_aa_Google_sheraton_suites_fairplex_21306_NAD_FM The Hotel Claremont We like this place but found the Hotel Claremont slightly questionable in it's present condition. It's not repulsive by any means, far from it... in fact when we visited there was a hot rod convention at the Pomona Fairplex and many of the rodders (who could probably afford to stay anywhere) were staying at the HC. The online reviews gave us hope for both very clean and affordable lodging, but when we visited we found several of the non-smoking rooms had a noticeable (but not overpowering) stale odor, the carpets did show occasional (unidentified) stains and the hotel's exterior wasn't maintained they way we would have liked. Generally speaking the place looked okay but a little tired. We've stayed in worse and you probably have too, LOL. The good news: The manager assured us that by the time Tiki-Invasion happens, they will have painted inside and out, and re carpeted all of the rooms too. If that is the case, it will be a winner. It is very convenient to the Mission Tiki, less than 5 minutes drive, right off of the 10 Interstate. Rooms are normally moderate in price ($109/night average for 2 adults in a king bed). TIKI-INVASION RATE is just $59. Staff was very friendly and helpful, bonus points for that. The pool and tennis courts looked clean and inviting. Not a bad choice by any means, just not quite as attractive as our choice #1. Starbucks and Denny's next door!
