I'll call to ask on Friday if someone hasn't done it by then.

If you can call that would be great... I'm looking at some other options as well since the price from last year jumped $40.
Thanks

I'll check with Comfort Inn as well and provide pricing options for everyone very soon.

So, I don't have great results to share thus far, but here's the sitrep:
I called and asked for a King bed single room rate, negotiated it down, and then asked about a block of 10-12 rooms for the 11th night leaving on the 12th.
Holiday Inn Express in Bellevue, KY: $129/night for a King suite negotiated pricing down to $119/night group rate. I cited the Comfort Suites rates of $105/$110 normal pricing before AAA discount being much lower than even this group rate, so the Holiday Inn CSR said she'd have this and any nearby hotels call me back tomorrow with a more competitive offer. I don't anticipate much lower than $109/night, if anything. I'm to speak with Mr. Hoque from the location on Monday morning (he's off until then) about this.
Comfort Inn Suites: $105/night King bed facing parking lot or $110/night King bed facing river. I'll speak with Brandon (or Brandy?) tomorrow about the group rate. They offer AAA discounts, as well, so I'm thinking we stay here unless it's a real s***hole. Still, I'll work down the price as much as possible.
Sorry for reporting late, guys. My night shifts make it tough to actually get people on the phone during business hours cuz I'm usually sleeping.
edit: I'm asking for 12 King rooms, currently. Do we need more? Different types of rooms?

I don't know about the others, but our little Canadian group will need a few 2x queen rooms
