decent hotel by the 1500?

[ultraspec]

Coming down to the 1500 tomorrow and am looking for a hotel that's close, in a good area, and not an ARM and a leg for a room. Suggestions?

Not going to happen, FFA is in town and hotels are full.

Good luck, the Future Farmer of America are having their convention downtown this week and most of the hotels are booked, plus the 1500 is not in the best part of town, Esrice on here works at a hotel, might PM him and see if he can help.

Does not compute!

"Decent hotel" and "by the 1500" do not belong in the same paragraph let alone the same sentence! 55,000 FFAers have got all the hotels anyway.

Maybe Ft. Benjamin Harrison state park?

Try the Jameson Inn on west 38th and 465. i checked out today and i don't think it was full. maybe one room.

Actually, if you do a search at Cheap & Discount Travel Deals, Flights & Hotels | Hotwire.com there is plenty reasonable stuff available. Stick to the "fishers-NE" and "Carmel" zones and you'll be in a good area about 5-10 miles form the 1500. The 2.5 star listed for $39 is the Jameson Inn. Its not fancy, but a great price in a good area. The 3 star listed for $52 in Fishers is the Staybridge Suites. Great place with an indoor pool.

Hotwire says there are still hotels available in the fishers area for saturday night.

Nevrmind I didn't see the new replies.

Actually, most of the FFA folks leave tomorrow. You can get a hotel on 96th street in Fishers for sure. But I'm guessing the price is at least an arm or a leg. I know the Hotel Indigo runs about $89 per night and the others are comparable in price.

Jameson Inn wouldn't be to bad, except 38th street is all messed up, I would look to the north

Thank you for the timely responses ingo'ers. Appreciatie the help. I'll look at the links when I get to a computer

I've got rooms on the south side tonight (FFA'ers just left). Hotel is about 20-25 minutes south of the Fairgrounds. And because I'm just inside Johnson County my tax rate is only 7%, rather than 17% like Marion County.

I've already got one INGOer staying here.

Too bad

Too bad about the Cabelas cancellation/delay/whatever. You'd have been in their backyard! Any chance it may still happen (he said, hijacking the thread).

Yes, it is too bad. We were really banking on them being right next door.

Last I talked with the Greenwood Mayor, they aren't coming at all.
