I'm not faulting them for raising rates during a period of what they see as peak demand. I'm just not paying it this time. I can drive 15 minutes to save +$400 for the stay. I have to drive somewhere to eat when I stay at the Hampton just outside of Barber. This time I am just staying in the area I usually go to eat. It is a plus that it was considerably less expensive when a booked a couple of months ago.Just like everything else…hotels make hay when the sun shines!!! I’d be surprised if they aren’t booked regardless of price. Big money event…big money people…big money all around.
I booked a couple of months ago, so there was probably more availability. MCA was using Marriot for the host hotel which was booked up almost immediately. The other Marriot properties and the Hampton outside in the area already had raised rates by the time I made my reservations. Not sure of the current situation but when I booked most of the Hilton properties had better rates. Good luck finding something close for a reasonable price.Thanks Eric, I’ll figure something out. The area you’ve suggested is close, has eating establishments, and the hotel prices are far more reasonable than the host area. One Marriot near the host was $500 something a night. That’s nuts, and the Hampton Inn near the track is sold out. I’ll make my reservation for the event tomorro, and then worry about hotels. Happy New Year !,,
