Good question! I have booked the flight, the Magnum rental, and spoken with people at both the Hermitage and Monel's Cafe.
The people I talked to reccomended staying closer to the Airport, as most of the hotels nearby have some of those weekly rates and some really questionable residents.
I may just go on Expedia later and search a bit. I wanted to stay right there in case I may need to crawl back to my room, but it looks like I'll have to drive. Let me know if you find something good in the meantime, gotta go feed some kids now!!An over 40 victim of fate.

All of the major hotel brands are near the airport which is about 10 miles from the Hermitage, 12 - 14 minutes drive time. Magnum8r is correct. There are not any decent motels much closer. Personally, I like Hampton Inns and Marriott Courtyards.
As to Magnum8r being poured into bed, we will make sure that happens safely.
My phone number is 615-541-0139 if you have any questions that I can help you with.Last edited by done; 11-13-2005 at 12:54 PM.

Found a pretty good deal on a room at Embassy suites near the airport. 99 bucks a night. For two people (like me and the wife) that works out to be a pretty good deal since they have a full breakfast with the room. Not a continental but a full made to order breakfast. At most hotels if they have a place to eat, two people eating breakfast would run at least 20. I have stayed at Embassy suites before and the breakfast is top notch. Just made the reservation.

No critters??? Guess the barn is out of the question.

I'd love to be able to stay over, but it's not gonna happen, I'll be cutting out sometime after 9-10pm to make it back for work Sunday morning at 11.
Hope to be in town by 9-ish...

The Fairmont and the Baymont near the airport are both quite nice and are easy to find.

Although I can't be there in person I will be there in spirit. I look forward to reading the thread and seeing the pictures.
Congratulations Rev! The day is near! Got butterflys yet?
The Magnum has a soul. It has a personality, something all too lacking in the automotive transportation appliances everybody else is offering.
