it was ok. room was clean. no black mold like i have had multiple times in recent years. back parking lot was a mess. probably a bit overpriced for what you got. no breakfast, no restaurant,

no real bar.
no secure gate or on site security so leaving your vehicle out was a constant concern.
Gary was able to get me in my room, though I heard there was over booking.
Someone was drinking Bud Light in the lobby, so interacting with any gals there was out of the question.
$340 for two nights is kind of pricy. Then spending $250 in gas made it sting a little more.
With the costs and the incident I had in the swap meet on Sunday, If I do decide to attend again, It's gonna be a in early Saturday and head home by 11am. no weekend stay, no spending money on swap spot, limiting what I buy at the show.

I've been going to the Spring Fling since 2001. I make their fall show maybe 1/3 of the time but rarely miss the Spring show.
I used to stay at the Holiday Inn Express off of Roscoe and 405 but some time around 2010, I started staying at the Air-Tel. I liked that they had a gated parking lot and really liked that there were guests there that had cars that were going to be in the show. This gave people a chance to have some one on one time with the owners as compared to the show where people often wander away from their cars.
The facility isn't ideal and for me, never has been. The sound of the airplanes taking off can be distracting but the hotel is close to Woodley Park. I never used the pool. I don't drink so I didn't go to the bar. Up until a few years ago, the overnight stay included breakfast. That changed but the price wasn't too bad and the food was good.
This year, there was no gate security. No restaurant and very few guests with classic cars, myself included! I hope that things improve for next year.
I understand that they had a major disruption so I cannot fault them for the situation.

I heard there were still homeless housed on the third floor - anyone know if this was true? where were your rooms?

I was at the Motel 6

Motel 6? Talk about a chithole! I stayed there fall 2021. Horrible. Single pane window, huge gaps between the door and jamb, no alarm clock, no USB in the lamp, one chair, one table, noisy plumbing, no hair dryer....The place looked like it hadn't been updated since the 70s.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience at the Air Tel Hotel and Motel 6. I stayed at the Air Tel a few years ago and had a decent experience, but I can understand how the recent use of a homeless shelter might have impacted its condition.
