This hotel is right next door to Proctors, and is thus the most convenient place to stay.  And, we are getting a very good deal from the Parker this year: a Council room rate of only $114 per night.  There are only eight rooms available at this rate.  The options are a single room with a Queen bed, or an Executive suite with a King bed and pullout couch.  This rate is good only until September 8th, so please book soon.  We expect this to be a very popular option.

This hotel is about a half-mile from Proctors. The Days Inn is our suggested economy option.  We do not have a set Council rate.  As of today (see Last Update at the top of this page), we see rates of $64 per night, plus taxes & fees, on various internet travel sites.  This is almost $15 less than last year (must be the economy...)!  There are other hotels close to Proctors in this price range (several on State Street), but we suggest you stay away from those.  The Days Inn offers free parking.

This hotel is also about a half-mile from Proctors, directly across the street from the Days Inn.  They have plenty of free parking, and a shuttle van that can take you back-and-forth to Proctors, upon request.  Please note that hotel guests needing airport pickup/dropoff have priority.  The van also runs only until 10:30 PM.

We do not have an arrangement for a Council rate.  Various internet sites currently list a rate of $109 (plus taxes & fees) for a double room.  If you don't mind a little walk, but want something that's a bit nicer than the Days Inn (right across the street), then this is a pretty good deal.  Book soon!

This hotel is right up the block from Proctors, about a one-minute walk.  We have been granted a Council rate of $144 per night (plus taxes & fees). 

Once again, it looks like the folks at the Hampton Inn just have no love for us (this is a regular thing every year between us and them).  As of today, we see rates on various internet travel sites of $127-135.  If you want to stay at the Hampton, please consider booking online and ignoring the official Council rate.

The Hampton Inn includes a continental breakfast for all guests.  They also have a private parking lot, so this is an extra convenience for our out-of-town attendees.  The Hampton Inn is a nice new hotel with 21st century amenities, like WiFi and hi-def wide screen TVs in every guest room.

For three years in a row now, Council attendees have stayed at Frosty Acres Campground.  Not many, but a few.  So we figured it's time to add it to our list of suggested lodgings.  Both sets of guys gave it very positive reviews.  Their web site says their season ends on October 1st, but it's also said that for the past two years and it wasn't a problem.  If you call ahead and make a reservation, we're pretty sure you'll be fine.  Frosty Acres is about ten miles from Proctors, which amounts to a 15-20 minute drive.
