We also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express because we follow that road for 2 minutes and we get to the hooters parking lot. It was super close to the meeting spot Thursday morning.

Exactly why I suggested this area to "M"....in the first place...There are several hotels, on Riverboat Row....right next to the departure point......

...there are also some real "Dumps" close by.....I wouldn't suggest those to any of my S2K friends...but they are "CHEAP".......

Yup... I think the parking lot is big enough to accomodate us and the location was ideal. I also know it's walking distance to the liquor store

It was a little far from the Montgomery Inn but I didn't mind that since my bigger concern was the proximity to Hooters in the morning

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?

Thanks for looking into this Samir

I am thinking that we find out if we can do the group rate at the Holiday Inn... can you find out about two beds instead of King? Also, can you find out if they can give us a code to use online since some of our guests will be travelling from across the border (long distance), or people like me who don't like talking to people on the phone and prefer booking online

Thanks again for doing this!
