If I had to stay in a hotel in Woodstock, it would be the Best Wester Plus there for sure.If I can add in my 2 cents for next year perhaps a hotel a little closer to some food places within walking distance.
I know I'd pay the extra for the convenience of a decent complimentary breakfast, a decent hotel and within walking distance of a few restaurants and pub (fast food and sit down) for folks who want to get together in the evening after a ride to chillax.
I'm thinking the Best Western Plus. I wasn't real impressed by HoJo's for my monetary ROI.
It's also a lot closer to Connell Park so @Happy Rob can get a few extra minutes sleep for those 8am start times.

I might just be interested. I promised to take my wife to PEI next summer. Sure tis only a flick to New Brunswick from der. I can't wait to camp in my new to me camper. I sold the other one a couple of weeks after I got back from last WoodSToc.
Did you promise to bring her back to Nfld with you too?
So should I be booking a hotel for this already?
That depends... if you wanted a dome, then yes. They are supposed to have 6 cabins finished by then, but they are not bookable yet. If you were camping, no I'd say you're fine to wait. These are all if you want to stay in the same "resort" location.
When I booked my dome it said 50% was due on booking, but I see they charged my credit card for the full amount already. Not real happy about that but I'm guessing it's because they deal with a 3rd party for booking and billing.
If you wanted to stay nearby, but not with the group there are lots of options for decent places in Fredericton NB (about a 15 min drive) such as the Best Western, Radison Kingswood, Chateau Fredericton, Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn as well as other hotels and motels. If you have questions about any in specific just reach out and I can provide the deets about them.

I did reserve cabins for our group. It may be spring before you can actually reserve. I'll keep in touch with management, and details will be coming along asap!
I reserved a dome for Cherie and I, we will arrive on Wednesday and stay to Sunday. I think I will plan an interesting route with short riding days to get out there, hopefully the trip out will be as enjoyable as the event.

Gerhard, I'm delighted to know you'll be with us. I found the domes to be magical in their appeal when Obo and I did the inspection, I think Cherie will approve!

And we can't wait to slide your camper in amongst the cabins. Obo and I already described your space needs to the owner, he's very accommodating, and eager to please.

Obo's wife, Cherie, and my wife.. Sounds like a couples retreat. I can lead in midfullness/ meditation moments!!
And then go shopping.

Rob! pleased to see that you're going to be part of our happening group. Imagine you on the podium (or maybe standing on a block of wood) giving us your best stories from back home! And like I said before, they don't have to be true... Ah, a campfire and stories... and, you can lead us in song, if we can just get Patty to come with her guitar - happened once before!
Robert aka Kiltman and Peppermint Paddy made a great duet.
And there is also Bruce’s Deb.

Ya sure Rob when I meditate my eyes are closed and I sometimes snore. My wife Deb, who you have met, will be coming too. I’m interested in a side trip to PEI, so keep in touch & maybe we can ride together there.

Oddly enough, I began guitar lessons last week. One finger, one string so far. It's very frustrating. But by WoodStoc2, I'm sure I'll be playing like a pro!!????
