Booked 6 blocks from the convention site. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, none of the hotels are amazing when it comes to location. Unfortunately, by having it in a city without a convention center, it’s not close to anything. But, there should be shuttles for the downtown hotels. I don’t know anything about them since I’ve managed to get rooms in nearby hotels the years they had to resort to them. I figure even with this set up being about 6 blocks away, it’s better to have the option of walking back to the hotel for a break than being forced to rely on shuttles since I’m not aware of a Louisville being a city with tons of cabs.
Like Matt, I’m ‘reserved’ in the 6 block range too. Your ‘heads up’ was very useful in (my) getting a reservations. Thanks!
Maybe we could put up a Google map overlay up so people can trace where events are to be held during 2A Blog Bash weekend. Sounds geeky, I know, but it just might work.
I look forward to meeting everyone!
I know the distance for the Executive West says six blocks, but the hotel is right at the front gate of the fairgrounds. It’s a pretty good walk to the exhibition halls. Shuttles from downtown I don’t know about. If I were staying downtown, I’d make a call and confirm shuttles.
Parking at the Fairgrounds is $5/day. Food and beverages inside are HIGH. However, I recommend the porkchop sandwiches at the Pork Producers Kiosks.
If your looking for less exspensive and don’t mind a little driving, look South on I-65
10 miles south of Fairgrounds on I-65 and Brooks Rd.
Comfort Inn $70/night (502) 957-6900
Quality Inn and Suites $70/night (502) 955-6272
Hampton Inn $99/night (502) 957-5050 not cheaper than others, but may be available after others are booked.
These hotels did not offer a convention discount.
Group rates may be available. It would take several to commit to one location.
These are just the first three that come up. There’s a Holiday Inn Express just opened up there. The “more results” link brings up several more. Be sure to check a map for location. The entire area, including Brooks may be considered Shepherdsville.
google: hotels Brooks KY
Not as convenient as staying by the fairgrounds, byt $30/night less expensive buys some inconvenience. Straight shot up the interstate takes 15-30 minutes (rush hours) Shepherdsville proper is about 10 more miles.
I’m happy to help anyone out if you need some local input. email me at greatbluewhale AT insightbb DOT com.
I just posted this as a question. Who’s staying where? I’d prefer to stay at a hotel where a bunch of us are staying rather than at a Motel 6 twenty miles away, and I need to make reservations.
I’m staying at the Hyatt.
