The rate they gave me is $240/night. I think the going rate is $290.00. I got family so just want it to be easy for them .If your single i guess their are more economical rates around.
I assume you decided to register.

Same here, $240. The previous three years at IMTX I've stayed 5 -20 minutes away. Such an easy place to navigate, even on race day. Cheap, parking lots or free depending on the year. Staying at the Fairfield I saved over $120 a night and was right off the hwy. It was also right next to a super walmart and every other food store you could want.
But, since I have a bunch of old folks watching my 4 little ones, I'm going to pony up the dough and stay at the host hotel. I am a bit excited that I won't have to drive a bit once I park and that I won't have to get into a car after the race.
The first time I raced, my daughter was having her first communion the next day.......in Virginia. I finished IMTX, dropped my bike at tri bike transport, took a baby wipe shower, jumped into the rental car, drove to Dallas, slept for 2 hours in an airport, landed in Virginia beach, and was at the church 15 minutes before kick off.
I know that story doesn't have anything to do with hotels, but I had not thought of it in a while so I thought i'd share. |
