I can probably tell you in a couple weeks after IMFL. Laughing I am staying in the Boardwalk Beach Resort. It is the race hotel/condo. I think they use this same race hotel/cond in May as they do for IMFL. In the IMFL thread serveral people have asked the same question. It was suggested for a condo check out www.vrbo.com. I think I also saw the name of Sunbird and a couple more. I know these are condos, but it seems as if this is the way to go in Florida.

I stayed have stayed up and down the beach.  Last time, we stayed in the hotel just west of La Vela.  It wasn't the most luxurious but it was cheap, convenient and did the trick. 

There really isn't many places where you can go wrong.  That part of Thomas Dr is littered with decent hotels that can accommodate families.  I would just price shop.

Will see you down there, Finish line catcher.. driving down solo Friday for the meeting and the race on Saturday. Then hanging through and signing up on Sunday... hit me up if you'd like.

I can say to stay away from the Chateau on the West side...unless you like breathing cigarette smoke.
