IMchoo question

You're not going to find anything close to the venue for that price. But you can if you don't mind driving in from 5 or 10 miles away. I was there this weekend and finding parking wasn't an issue. They have plenty of parking with in a 5 to 10 minute walk or closer.

There are great hotels within a few blocks of T1/T2 but might be hard to find at that price.  But, an extra 5-10 minute drive and you should be set.

I stayed at the Choo Choo last year and paid right in that range.  The other benefit is that the transit center is right next door so a bunch of us used that on race morning, it was pretty easy.  the rest of the time there I just drove down to the race site and never had an issue parking within a couple blocks and never once had to pay in a lot (i.e. pay $15 flat fee for a 20 minute trip to drop my bike off), I found street parking every time.

Good point on the bike for the return trip.  I just walked back up, I had  enough after the 144.6!
