3331 108 #3 August 15, 2007 The Days Inn close to the Perris DZ will be a Holiday Inn Express by October. It's being cleaned up and renovated to Holiday Inn standards. I'm staying there for the POPs World Record jumps in October.I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #6 August 15, 2007 QuoteDecent Hotel near Perris, CA BAWAHHHAAAA!!!!! HHHHAAAAWAAAA!!!!! Ok..lemme catch my breath.... ;-) Seriously, they all suck. Its a degree of sucking. We usually end up stayiong at a small motel in Sun City (1 exit south of Ethenac) that changes names once in a while. The room are recently renovated, so its not so bad.

That great news that its beeing converted to a HI Express! The bad news is probably that it will be twice the price.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose I shouldn't have used the word "decent"... ... my bad. So you're saying I should consider going with Plan-B... bring my pillow, sleeping bag, .45 & crash in the back of my car?

We typically stay there bacause, as a couple, the IHOP sucks. That being said, when I came to Perris by myself, I stayed at the IHOP. It was OK. Sorry you had a bad experience there, but I did keep my valuables in the car, locked away.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sagan 0 #13 August 16, 2007 There's also a bunkhouse aside from the ihop. Haven't stayed there yet though. Why not just keep your valuables i.e. rig, wallet, etc, in your car and then stay at ihop? True someone could break into the car but that's probably less likely to attract opportunist theft. For the record I've stayed at ihop for a total of about 20 days now (not consecutive) and have never had problems. If you don't mind a 30 minute drive there's more options in Corona.-Patrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
didone 0 #14 August 16, 2007 the Days Inn in Perris is ok. Don't expect too much but it's quite and very conveniently located just outside of the airpor. I've been there 2 or 3 times, including a few weeks ago for the unConventional boogie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #15 August 16, 2007 in 2005 JFTC took their business elsewhere and avoided the Days Inn at Perris. It was scary by any standards, with undesirables hanging out and incidents happening to people staying there. Reservations were made at a couple of motels in Hemet, a town just east of Perris. Nothing but good reports from staying there. Googled them for you: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=hotels+Hemet+California&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 8 #16 August 16, 2007 Yeah, I wondered about that. Its been a couple of years, but I've stayed at the Days Inn before... even back when it was a Best Western... it never really was all that great, but seemed to be going downhill the last time I was there and then I noticed (I think it was on Perris' website) that is wasn't on its local list of hotels anymore. Too bad. Without staying on the DZ itself, you can't get much closer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #17 August 16, 2007 "I hear the Days Inn close by, catty-corner from the Denny's, has really gone down hill." You mean they don't have Spice Channel anymore?I stayed several times at the one in Sun City (weekends), I walk to the bar "Ponderosa" across the lot. they have some good price food, they have a band.dance floor. I have always had a good time there.Even met a girl there, and dated a few times when I was in town! Other, than that..I would camp-out at Perris! Don't even drink and drive if you leave the DZ!
