Just registered for Barn Raising IV :sea six: and booked hotel reservations for 21-23 May.
Hopefully, i'll be able to extend reservation through 25 May - if something comes available. |

We now are able to go; but the Hampton is fully booked; they would not put us on a waiting list either
Dang; I wish we had been able to know we could go - a lot earlier. What about the old Gaymont; is it still a hotel that we can stay at ? |

I think it is now a Holiday Inn Express - but you will be able to learn from your experience. LOL

Ok...here are some alternative hotels. Pricing that I found, when possible, is in green. I just did a quick search to get these prices, there may be cheaper out there, but it at least gives a baseline.
Anyhow, they're mapped out below, so you can see where they are in relation to the Hampton. When looking at the maps below, Hampton Inn is number 7: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looks like the Holiday Inn Express is the hotel directly next door: Holiday Inn Express contact info: Holiday Inn Express: As of this evening, they do have available rooms. If you do the Advance Purchase directly via their site, the price is about $120/night for a standard room. Hotels.com MOBILE site has the same price, which is essentially just advanced purchase. Otherwise, it's $127/night on Holiday Inn's website, which is the 'best rate' without advance purchase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drury: Drury Contact info: Drury: As of this evening, they have rooms available. Drury offer discount codes at this link for booking on their site: https://wwws.druryhotels.com/esavercode.aspx Enter in the web code at the too and click on the link for Drury - Bowling Green, KY. I was able to find a room for an average of about $110/night. Incidentally, the Drury had the highest guest ratings of all the hotels in that area. Hotels.com mobile site does not list Drury. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Red Roof Inn: Red Roof Inn Contact info: Red Roof Inn has rooms available. I found a 25% off promo code for Red Roof Inn. Use promo code 602006 for booking on their site...not sure how long it is good for. Superior King Room, with the promo code, averages less than $62/night. Hotels.com MOBILE has the rooms for $76/night. It also states there are only 2 rooms left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Econo Lodge Econo Lodge Contact info: Econo Lodge has rooms available. On their site, advanced purchase starts at about $53/night. Best available rate without advanced purchase starts at about $67/night. Hotels.com MOBILE site starts at $66/night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Motel 6: Motel 6 Contact info: Motel 6 does have rooms available. It's worth noting that their website says that the property is currently under renovation. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Anyhow, using promo code CP550806, the average rate for a queen room is about $42/night. Hotels.com MOBILE doesn't list Motel 6 on its list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Candlewoods Suites: Candlewoods Suites Contact Info: Candlewoods Suites has rooms available. On the hotel's website, advanced purchase starts at $110/night average. Otherwise, the 'best rate' is about $125/night. Hotels.com MOBILE site has an average nightly rate of $102. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Country Inn and Suites: Country Inn and Suites Contact Info: There are NO rooms available at Country Inn and Suites. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are a series of hotels south of the freeway, about a mile down the road: I didn't grab the phone numbers for these, but here's a list of the basic info, in case anyone needs it. Here are prices for those hotels that are south of the freeway, plus on that is slightly northwest of the Hampton. I only pulled prices from hotels.com on these: There are more hotels (in the area) then what I listed above. What I've listed above is just what came up on Yelp, which also has some star rankings, based on customer reviews. Figured that'd be helpful for anyone coming for the first time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the list from the NCM's website. You'll have to map these out, as I'm not sure where some of these are located. These are just screen shots from the NCM site, so some of them are duplicates from above: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you find cheaper prices anywhere else for these hotels (maybe on kayak, orbitz, etc.), post them up. There may be cheaper rates out there than what I found. . Last edited by NEED-A-VETTE; 04-14-2014 at 2:31am. Reason: Added some room rates. |

I got a room !!!
but at the Holiday Inn Express next to the Hampton. Funny that Yvonne and I stayed there (but called the Gaymont) for the CF CI's years ago. The desk droid said there are just a few rooms left for that weekend; $135/night... but that's OK with us ! |

Unfortunately we are not allowed to schedule vacations until the contract is ratified. If the union goes on strike we will be working the plant to keep product moving, if not we are still on hold until the contract is ratified. If they have a verbal I might be able to take off that weekend and head down. Fingers crossed.
