I think we were all very impressed with Amerihost this year, but they're already quoting $150/night for the regular rooms and even more for the Godfrey Suites.

Do we still want to stick with Amerihost, or would anyone be interested in finding something much cheaper on the outskirts, say Sandusky, perhaps? For those of us in big cities, driving a half an hour to get to the track or Buschur's shop is nothing. Some of us drive more than an hour each way to and from work!

Figured now is a good time to discuss this.

i say stick with the amerihost, but that is just me. the amerihost was quoting 150/night from the get go last year as well so this is nothing new. still better than tht 230/night rate at the BW we have seen in the past. we need to hurry up on this so i can set my reservation and forget about it until i arrive.

It'd be nice if we could get a whole block of rooms on the 1st floor next to the back door.

I just got off the phone with Amerihost's group reservations line. Here's what I got.

EDIT:
In case you miss it, the hotel names are links to a Google map showing their location in relation to Norwalk. Before you flip out, click on the Amerihost to see where it is. Less than 3 miles away from any of these other hotels...


maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=415+Milan+Avenue,+norwalk,+oh&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=41.278322,-82.592125&spn=0.126684,0.390015&om=1
-reg. rate = $149.99/night
-group rate = $134.99/night
-$449.97+tax for the weekend (reg)
-$404.97+tax for the weekend (group).
-3 people to a room = approx. $150-$170 per person.


maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=11313+Rt+250,+Milan,+OH+44846&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=41.280387,-82.54818&spn=0.12668,0.390015&om=1
(5.5mi from downtown Norwalk, 2.9mi from Amerihost)
-reg rate: $99.88/night (they would call to negotiate a group rate)
-Super 8 Milan: $299.64+tax for the weekend at regular rates.
-3 people to a room = approx. $100-$120 per person.


maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=11410+US-250,+Milan,+OH+44846&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=41.287094,-82.600365&spn=0.126667,0.390015&om=1
(5.4mi from downtown Norwalk, 2.8mi from Amerihost)
-reg. rate: Fri = $70, Sat = $90, Sun = $65 (they would call to negotiate a group rate)
-Days Inn Milan: $225+tax for the weekend at regular rates.
-3 people to a room = approx. $75-$90 per person.

*All rates above do not include tax.

These rates are for a minimum of ten rooms. We would need to make a decision and act quickly before anyone else sees this information and takes our idea, inflating the rates at these other hotels. I love the Amerihost - it was clean, centrally located, and they did us right, but I have to ask if less than three miles is worth an extra $100+ for the weekend? Not as though we did a whole lot of cruising around.

Discuss. I will get more information as soon as I get some idea what you guys would like to do...

My only concern would be complaints from people who are not there for the Shootout. Not really too sure if that makes a difference or not as far as the people running hotel are concerned.
