Looks like I'll be going to that show in '09, anyone have any recommendations for hotels? Also hotels near BBT in Belgium? I'll be flying to Brussels and driving in the caravan to the show at HO.

John, This is a popular Hotel for BBT. It's about 3 miles from BBT and you'll have no trouble booking a room at this time or early in the New Year: Hotel Dennenhof

ET contacted Hotel Garni Weserlounge in Kleinenwieden and has a bad news!
No more rooms available over there for the weekend of H.O.2009!![-x
ET has reserved all the left over free rooms in the bed and breakfast for his dearest friends Guido and Josche, Ralf and Erika, Dave and Jean and ofcourse himself!:lol:
However the people overthere promised me if there came a room vacant that they would notify me!!
As soon as this happens I will tell!!:wink:

After all rooms are sold out your next step might be to find a room in "Rintln" - a historical city rond about 19 minutes by car in the west of Hessisch Oldendorf. On their website you can find this room-locator:

The Swedes hotel is already full!!!
So, if you need one, there are still some rooms available here:

It's only 11 km from H.O.

Well, I still haven't found a Hotel in/near HO (haven't really been trying actually....!). Thanks for all the links, but I have difficulty with the language and don't always understand where on the sites I can inquire about the availability of rooms.

I tried travelocity.com which I have used in the past for European Hotels, but "We're sorry but we cannot identify the location that you entered.".

Does anyone know of any english hotel listing websites that might show rooms and allow me to make a reservation?

OR, anyone know of a hotel near HO that HAS rooms available? (Its been months since I posted this originally). I'm not picky about a room....

Thanks in advance..

Ok, after posting that, I figure out that if I actually SPELL Hessich Oldendorf right, Travelocity will find me hotel rooms in the area.

I booked a room at the Mercure in Hameln. I have stayed at that chain before, and paid a little bit more for a room I can cancel with no fee up until 6pm the night of the first stay (in case I find something better).

Looking on Mapquest, it appears it is amybe 12-14 kms from HO. And I see railway tracks.

Does anyone know if a train runs between those towns? If so, do they have a website with schedules. I may be driving a vintage VW that is not mine, so I do not presume that the owner would want me to drive it to Hameln for the evenings.

Thanks...
