<< Apparently the Microtel is sold out.>>
Thanks Joe, I was unaware that Microtel is filled up...
Of course, for the deeper pockets, I think O'Henry Hotel still has some rooms (this is a very nice, European style semi-deluxe hotel very convenient to the goins on. It's just $150 night!)
There are many many hotels & motels; tomorrow I will add more decent places to the web site in the "where to stay" page.

Apparently the Microtel is sold out. After way too much digging I found this down the street a bit. As Dale warned long ago, there are other events in town and rooms, especially on Sunday night, are very tight. Also it can be hard to get non-smoking. This place has some interesting two room suite options also for a few people sharing. My room was $65 a night. Given the room options they seem to have plenty available.
I bookes through priceline.com
