Where will you be visiting in town? Monroeville is fine, it is where we will be hosting MACNA.

What hotels are you looking at?

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

what about forrest hills?

 

[BeanAnimal]

For the most part forrests hills is a nice area. Like many places in this area, the good and the bad are sometimes right next to each other.

ok thank you very much. im looking at the double tree hotel.

Why not stay at the Comfort Inn in Penn Hills.Sets up on a hill so not traffic noise, 2 minutes from monroeville and 10-15 from forest hill depending on what part, also 400 yrds from parkway. Theres a giant eagles along with many places to eat and a few bars very close.

The only doubletree I know if is down town. (There is one at the airport also).

You sure it is a doubletree? What is the street addess?

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

Most are in very decent areas.

Yes it will be fine.

Elmers Aquariums is a few blocks away. There are a few bars close by. John Harverds brew house ( micro brewery). TGIF and places like that.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

bean THANK YOU very much! micro brews are always a plus

Not a problem at all, enjoy you visit. Check back here if you need anything. There are a few other stores in the local area, but most are 1/2 hour or more away. Elmers is a decent store. the pmas website ( pmas.org) has a listing of local stores and addresses that sponsor our club.

We had arranged for some pretty decent rates at the Raddison (where the event is being held). Though, you will be fine at the holiday inn, it is only 2 miles up the road.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

yes i was initially going to go with the raddison but i get reward points with the holiday inn.

thanks again.
