Did you negotiate with the Hilton guys to bring our own beer, or what is the status on the Hampton Inn?

Roy,

We are voting for the Hampton with the free hospitality room and reasonable prices and nearby restaurants.

We only have one concern.... trailer parking. Maybe a Walmart or something nearby? I know they sometimes allow truckers in their back parking lots.

Keep up the good work!

Vickie & Allen

Dieter, I tried to get the Hilton people to let us bring our own beer, etc., but their policy is to rent the room and if there is food or drink, the hotel has to be the ones that serve it. Then they let us have the room for free. I asked why and they said, "because we are a full service hotel". That didn't make sense to me but that is what I was told. As for the Hampton Inn, we will get a free hospitality room with 20 or more reservations and we can bring all the beer and food we want!

Seems to me that this would clinch it!

That makes up my mind! You can always get me out off the woods with beer and food!

1. Embassy Suites: This motel is extremely nice, great parking, many Hospitality rooms but we would have to pay for them. Many restaurants in the area. Only about 1 mile from the Speedway at only $149 a night!

2. Hilton Hotel: This motel is very nice, too. It is about 4.5 miles to the south from the Speedway. This hotel has Hospitality rooms at a charge. They will not allow us to bring our own food or drink to the hospitality room but they will serve food and drink at a cost to us, too. If we go with food and drink provided by the motel, they would give us the room free. Great parking. Many restaurants in the area. All this for $109 a night!

3. Hampton Inn: This motel is nice. It is about 4.7 miles to the south of the speedway. They will give us a hospitality room for free if we book 20 or more rooms, which is no problem. Many restaurants in the area. Parking is just OK but I think it will be fine for us. These people have actually acted like they wanted our business more than the others I have spoken with. The rates here are normally $129 to $169 a night but they said they would let us have the rooms for $99 per night.

4. Sleep Inn: This motel is nice but out in the "sticks" 11 miles to the north of the Speedway. The parking is OK but limited. There are no hospitality rooms at this motel! There are also no restaurants at this exit off the interstate. We can get the rooms for around $69 a night.
