Even though it seems eons away, it may be time for you who are attending to do some advance planning!
I am discovering rooms are filling up rapidly in the closet motel, the Battleground Inn, for this May's Cirque! I just booked in a handful of our British friends and there are single Queen sized beds rooms available but, as I understand it, two double bed rooms are already booked up.
I spent a few moments (?) this AM compiling a list of rooms and approximate rates, which I am pasting below on this message...I have arranged each category in rough order of preference. The Battleground Inn is about a block from cycles de ORO and closest to the Cirque location. The O.Henry Hotel is next closest but a little pricey at least for our area. It is very nice though!
I am also including a few URLs about our city, weather, etc...
