Hotel options (all these are within riding distance of Cosmo Park):

Holiday Inn Select (has indoor pool): Suite (lots of floor space) for $250/night includes breakfast and internet or 2 double beds for $150/night
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/sl/1/en/hotel/coucc?rpb=rate&crUrl=/h/d/sl/1/en/rates/coucc&ias=y

La Quinta: 2 double beds for $160/night (continental breakfast and free internet)

Econo Lodge (has indoor pool but bad reviews about cleanliness): 2 double or queen beds for $80/night

All other hotels I called are full on Friday night. If these hotels are busy, it shouldn't be too hard sneaking in a bunch of people to cram into one room.

So do we have a head count? I figure 4 full Lex teams = 12
then we have Kyle and Drew = 2

How about any other people who may be going just to tag along?

Also, can I pay extra for the chance to spoon Chris in a dirty motel bed?

Spooning or getting spooned?

I've got no problem sleeping on the floor or in a car. I'll spoon with you pat. I'm not picky like turner.

I still think a U-haul and some inflatable mattresses would solve all your transpo and lodging problems at once.

The u-haul is not a bad idea, And Brian i would not charge you for that where past that point.

Econo Lodge for $80 2 beds=4 people plus floor and indoor pool!!!

I'd be up for that. Plus, I bet an Econo-lodge would be more lenient for packing a bunch of people in a room than a $150 hotel would.

The guys over on the COMO facebook site are still saying that there is space in people's houses, but it is here and there, and we'd have to all just sort of filter over to where ever we could fit.

I posted some on COMO's Facebook page asking about the housing situation and how it looks for the massive wave of Lexingtonians rolling through. Here's what they're saying:

i've got an inflatable mattress i can bring as well..

But i figured to be comfortable we could go 3 rooms, and each pay about 40 for housing for the weekend. and everyone gets a bed/rollout/inflatable for the night. Thats with pricing at Econo-lodge....just some thinking.

I can go for that.

Unfortunately the rates at Econo have gone up to $100/night now. Some Pete guy said he had room for 5 plus space for air matress. Should I go ahead and book 2 Econo rooms or what?

I'm in for whatever... doesn't matter to me either way, but I can chip in my part. How many nights are we thinking? Two, three? Are people going to be staying Friday night somewhere? What about after the tourney is over... will it be too late to leave on Sunday night in order to get back in time?

I booked one room for Friday and Saturday nights. If someone else books a room, there is a space for special instructions if you want a room near mine. I figure we can extend to stay Sunday night if we're too tired to drive.... but I would like to start driving Sunday night and stop half way.
