Lodging Alternatives for
Columbus Day Weekend, 2008
CAMPING: Space remains available at the Whitewater Challengers Campground. For details or reservation, call the Rafting Center at 800-443-7238.
HOTELS AND MOTELS:
Hotels displayed below in bold face type are our favored Host Hotels and can be reserved through the Tournament Lodging Office, at 800-443-8554. All others may be reserved by calling the hotel or motel directly. For each lodging establishment listed below, "Yes" indicates that at least 10 rooms remain available for Saturday evening. "Few" indicates 1 to 9 rooms available on Saturday night. At most hotels and motels, a number of rooms will remain available on Friday night and Sunday night, even after Saturday night is "sold out." And in some cases, establishments listed as sold-out might now have rooms available, due to recent cancellations. At some establishments a two-night-minimum requirement is in effect, so remember to ask about this when making your reservations. Availability changes on a day-to-day basis, so for non-host hotels especially, it's important to check with the hotel directly for current rooming availability.
NOTE: This is a complete listing of all hotels and motels, ranging from high-end to modest budget facilities. Please use your own discretion in selecting a lodging establishment that most closely matches your personal preferences and budget.
