Group:
I'm having a difficult time deciding on our base for next years rally, so I'm going to go ahead and put it up for discussion.
I've found two very different hotels for us that will both fill our needs.
Choice one is a place called the Lakeside Motel. It's an old timey park in front of your room hotel. It's in the boonies. It's got 38 rooms so we would have the place to ourselves. It's set on a beautiful piece of land with a lake that you can fish at if you care to. Those are the pros. The cons are it's in the boonies. There's no place for breakfast except for a McDonalds in the town of Beverly just down the road. I found a great place for dinners but it's 15 miles away. 15 awesome miles, but 15 just the same. The price is 60-65 per night. The grounds really are nice and it's surrounded by green so we wouldn't be stuck standing around in a parking lot. I really like this place and if you guys could work around the breakfast thing, it would be ideal.
This link is for the golf course next door. Follow the link for the hotel to get an idea of the joint.http://lakesidegolfcourse.net/lodging.html
Choice two is a Holiday Inn Express located in Athens. It's surrounded by the usual chain eateries and is within walking distance to the hotel. It's very nice and has all the amenities. I would have jumped on it if not for the price which is $95+tax per night. That's a little steep for me, but I could swing it I suppose.
I'll let this post simmer for a few days to allow everyone interested to respond. Please give me your honest input and not just a Hey, it's up to you!
BTW, you guys are gonna love these roads!
