Import Alliance Summer '09 Meet - Nashville

[SIPNGAS]

how are the prices there?

[SIPNGAS]

I can't look until I get home.

Someone pick something middle to low end...as close to downtown as we can get without the prices being outrageous.....and we'll just go with it come what may.

[SIPNGAS]

That double tree isn't bad....2 night? 2 beds? Split between 2 or even 4?

we should just go with that.

[SIPNGAS]

Post an address so we can priceline/expedia/travelocity it.

[SIPNGAS]

What is that address of that you're using?

[SIPNGAS]

I think my vote is still be closer to downtown and have to drive to the meet...rather than be closer to the meet and have to drive downtown...?

Whaddya think?

What about that double tree...50 per person per night doesn't sounds horrible.

[SIPNGAS]

Pick a place and let's roll with it.

[SIPNGAS]

Would that be so bad, Mike? LOL

OK, these are the ones "bikegerm" recommended. The least expensive seems to be the Comfort Inn. I checked rates for 3 nights - Fri, Sat and Sun figuring we would arrive Friday afternoon and check out Monday morning. Rates are reduced for Sun night. So with 2 people to a room rate is $129.99 + $129.99 + $79.99 = $339.97 (I am sure that is plus tax and fees, etc.) With 4 people to a room rate is $139.99 + $139.99 + $89.99 = $369.97 (also I am sure plus tax and fees, etc.). Those prices are from their website.

Edit - **Looks like tax is 15.25% plus $2.50 per room per day occupancy tax.**

You can also add a roll away bed to some rooms for $10.00 more per night.

Found this online coupon for Comfort Inn that saves 10% as long as you make your reservation through the hotel instead of online or through the 800#. http://maps.google.com/coupons/page?...=1&gl=us&hl=en

I am still not certain I will be able to go. Depends on the doggie situation and it's just too far away to make concrete plans. I would like to go ahead and make my reservation though. I am definitely leaning towards the Comfort Inn since they are giving a break for the third night. It is still expensive, but about normal for a downtown hotel.

What does everyone think? Any input?

double tree is a nice hotel. ill be staying at home though so its all up to you all.

any of the hotels bikegerm recommended are good too if you wanting to be near downtown.

[dvlnblkdrs]

Bring Garm's Yaris and smoke everyone!

Checked Doubletree rates. $169 per night for 2 people, $189 per night for 4 people. Once again I assume plus tax, etc. Also appears to only have a parking garage across the street. There is valet parking. Seems they only have double or king beds, no queens. Looks really nice though.

[SIPNGAS]

Camelll has a SC in his yaris...and a trophy from the other show we were in...we'll smoke them. =)

OK..someone call the doubletree and see if we can maybe get a block of rooms? Say..2-3 per room..maybe try and get a block of 6. I don't think we have to pay for them right away, it would just mean we would all be on the same floor and near each other...

Checked with Doubletree. Rate is $169 per night for 2 people, either king bed or 2 doubles (no queens). $189 for 4 people. If you pay in full in advance you save $10 per night. It is plus tax, etc. Local # in Nashville is 615-244-8200 and 800 # is 800-222-8733.

There is no parking on site. Valet parking is available for $22.00 per day. There is a garage across the street that charges by the hour. She says it is expensive especially if you come and go a lot.

I am still leaning towards the Comfort Inn personally. I am not paying an extra $22.00 per day for someone to abuse my car. It may only be a Yaris, but it is mine.
