I also have a rez at Tru (2.8mi from finish), but recently grabbed a room at the downtown Best Western when they opened up some rooms. So, I'll be cancelling Tru soon. The Best Western is 3-4 blocks from the finish . . . easier stumble/limp. Don't know if it's a dump, but don't care too much. I think it was $120/nt for Wed, then $200/nt through Sunday.
If my spouse joins me, we'll probably move to one of the resorts outside of town, and we'll figure out race transportation. If she stays home (likely), then hobble distance from finish becomes my #1 priority.
I ended up booking a room at Best Western Abby. arriving 28 and leaving 4th.... they matched the Priceline quoted rate! I have room for a female roommate if anyone needs a spot moving forward. Thanks @Sheila Leard for all the assistance!
@Mike Roberts are you at the Best Western Coral Hills? That one looks closer to finish than BestWestern Abbey. I don't want to be driving on race morning if i can help it. Just adds stress with parking in an unfamiliar place.
@robin sarner, I’m so psyched you’ll be there. It’s been too long. Last time I raced a regional champs, I got out of the water with you, got off the bike with you, ran the first mile shoulder-to-shoulder with you, then watched man leave boy. I’ll try to make you work a bit harder for it this time. With @Tim Sullivan and perhaps @Derrek Sanks joining us, this could be a super fun EN M50-54 showdown.

I have a room booked at the True by Hilton that I am not using if you run into any trouble with reservations. I think a few people are booked there.
Thanks, Sid! what hotels are close to the finish?

nice! So downtown is the best location I suppose...

Coral Hills. Two blocks from finish, three to four from IM Village.
you are close! I'm 1.4 miles from IM village. 151 per night every night as they matched Priceline quote
Thanks @Mike Roberts
Coronada Inn for me. $49 per night. I am sure it is very luxurious. I am half mile further out than Mike.

@Mike Roberts Yes I had been thinking that recently as well. Looking forward to being back with you. See you soon.
@Mike Roberts That would be a fun showdown but lucky for me I've aged up. Or unlucky me if @Robert Sabo is racing. 😂
