Default What hotels are you staying at

Just getting an idea of the hotels everyone is staying at in each city. I will be getting mine soon, would like to stay with a big group every night. Last year it was hit or miss for people on LS1Tech.

I'm still setting mine up, but pretty much its either a Days Inn, or Best Western for most of the stops. I'm still working on the NJ, PA sites

Hampton Inn for me. Nice comforable beds, free internet, and food in the AM. Booked last October.

Well, I did mine this morning.

Here's the breakdown day by day:

Stop #1

Country Inn (Orlando 6/2 - 6/4)

5001 Calypso Cay Way

Kissimmee, FL 34746

Stop #2

Holiday Inn Express (Gainesville 6/4 - 6/5)

102 Hampton Court

Gainesville, FL 32608

Stop #3

Hampton Inn (Perry Ga, 6/5-6/6)

102 Hampton Court

Perry, GA 31069

Stop #4

Comfort Suite (Columbia SC, 6/6-6/7)

501 Taylor Street

Columbia, SC 29201

Stop #5

Amerisuites (Salem VA, 6/7-6/8)

5040 Valley View Blvd

Roanoke, VA 24012

Stop #6

Comfort Inn (Harrisburg PA, 6/8-6/9)

525 S. Front St

Harrisburg, PA 17104

Stop #7

Howard Johnson Xpress (Englishtown NJ, 6/9-6/10)

26 Route 1 North

New Brunswick, NJ 80901

All of the hotels are 3 stars and the furthest from a Venue is 11 miles at Gainesville FLA, the rest are pretty close.

All totalled, it was $863.50 for all of the stops including taxes and whatnot. My Dad is going to be my co-pilot so I booked 3 star hotels just to make sure we didn't get stuck in a roach-motel and the prices were pretty reasonable considering the time of year and that they are some shore tourist communities.

I'm gonna have to get some LS1tech stuff so I can make sure I meet up with other guys.
