Pocono Raceway Opens Posh Resort

Pocono Raceway Opens Posh Resort - Friday, July 31, 2009 at 10:50PM EST

LONG POND, MONROE COUNTY --This weekend, Pocono Raceway officially opens its new posh resort. Forget RVs and tents. Race fans can now live in high style across the street from the track. Consumer reporter Jeff Chirico took a tour this afternoon.

The 56-unit resort is completely booked this weekend. The Village at Pocono offers convenience for race fans who may not want to spend the weekend partying in the infield.

They're the sounds and sights you come to expect during race weekend. The infield filled with RVs turns into a muddy mess. But fans don't mind. Mike Eckstrom of Kane says "it doesn't get better than this."

Or does it? Welcome to Village at Pocono. The raceway's cleaner, more subdued lodging alternative. The classy resort offers clean and stylish apartment living. Village employee Cory May says “you have showers, modern furniture, contemporary chairs, flat screen tvs, air conditioning."

"I'm in the club house. It offers beautiful amenities for guests all year long." You'll find games --a fitness center and a high tech theater where you choose the flick. Cool off in an indoor pool after those steamy afternoons on the track.

The Village is ideal for Jeff Carroll. He works the race for General Motors. "Once the track shuts down, you don't hear anything here. It's just so quiet and nice."

But the resort won't just be marketed to race fans. "We're going to be available for daily weekly, monthly season rentals. We're going to do ski and stay packages for winter."

Perhaps a dream destination for those who prefer to relax by a pool of water rather than a puddle of mud.

A studio runs 100 dollars a night. Apartments rent for $200 or $300.
