Hotel Location

Amenities

  • Hot Tub
  • Large high ceiling interior for flying drones

Misc

  • Hotel uses magnetic stripe card for door entry
  • Presentation rooms get cold, bring a hoodie.
  • At least some of the outer rooms are smoking rooms and allow pets

Food Options

  • Sandwich Factory
    • Good: Burgers, Tour of Italy sandwich
      • The inside out burger was alright, but I'd probably get something different next time.
      • Chocolate covered bacon
    • Bad: The Philly Cheesesteak is reportedly awful
      • "Awful" might be a little melodramatic. I'd go with "weird." Hfuller (talk) 22:04, 9 November 2015 (CST)
  • Deezie's Hot Chicken
    • Jeff 2015: Hot was too hot, Cajun and Hot together was about right.
    • Jeff 2016: Feels like they changed their flavor levels. Hot and Cajun mixed together was not spicey enough this year. Also liz got food poisoning, hope that's just a fluke.
  • Green Dragon Inn, middle earth themed restaurant. As of Phreaknic 2016, we found out about this place too late and no one has eaten there yet, so no reviews.
  • O'Possums. Irish gastropub about 15 minutes from hotel. Good Mac and Cheese \ Shells and Cheese made with gouda, or blue cheese. Shepard's pie was good, but needed salt. Corned beef was good. Fried pickle spears are large, and use a funnel cake like batter. To-go orders available.
  • Chicago Pizza, almost walking distance from the hotel.

Drinkin

  • Don't forget to bring a good large plastic cup
  • Just a traffic light or two down the road is a very large Liqour Store, "Total Beverage"
  • A Wal-Mart is nearby for mixers.
