Gunslinger and I have done some calling different motels to get prices and this is what we have came up with, and these prices are including the NRA discounts and group rate.
(1) Days Inn----they have 69 rooms and the rates are $60 per night and this is like in the middle of Springfield, which is a ways from us.
(2) Motel 6------they have 102 rooms available and the rates there are $33.99 & $39.99 per night and this would be a close distance to us.
(3) American Inn-----they have 171 rooms available and the rates there are $99.00 per night and this is relatively close.
(4) Ramada Inn----they have only 30 rooms available that night and the rates are $75 per night and this is close to us.
(5) Interstate Inn-----they have 141 rooms available that night and the rates are $38.96 and $44.95 per night plus 10% discount for group and this is the closest one to us, just a hop, skip and jump.
(6) Howard Johnsons----they have 50 rooms available and the rates are $75 per night and this is close.
(7) Travel Lodge-----they have 55 rooms available and the rates are $59.95, $52.95, and $49.95 per night and this is quite a distance.
(8) Quality Inn-----they have 197 rooms available and the rates are $75 per night and this close.
We would like to keep the motels advised as much as possible, but I think for the money and we can have the whole motel if we get enough to come is the Interstate Inn because it is close and the rates are good, but its up to what everyone else wants but if someone thinks they will be here and be staying in the motel let us know so we can inform the motel, Gunslinger and I would appreciate this very much, and the ones that want the phone numbers to the motels to make reservations let us know ahead of time and we will contact the motel to let them know you will be calling so you can get the discount because we have spoke immensley to each and everyone to get the best rates and let them know what was happening that weekend.
Thanks,
Terri
