You vote, you go.

Pay up.

I think the consensus is that Bwhip had the best "alternate" solution

We liked the AmericInn a lot better than the 'Stone. Bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. There is a nice breakfast buffet every morning...cereal, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, waffles, toast, bagels, muffins. Not much further to the track, either, about 2 miles. We'll be staying there again next year. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby, too.

100% of Blue Sheep think Abtech is right (painful to admit) and the drive short. If not camp and save $$$

The AmericInn was pretty nice. I liked that the pool and hot tub area was open until midnight. The Super Wal-Mart across the street was pretty handy, too.
And it was all closer than the Hampton Inn we stayed at last year.

Like Maxib said, trailer parking is fine. If you have an SUV with a 6x12 or so, there are places in the front that you could pull through, and park across 2 spots, verically, within the lines. With the longer rig like we have, we parked a bit further from the door, horizontally across a few spaces. If that front lot happens to be full, there is a larger truck lot in the back of the hotel, which was empty when we were there. Only downside to that is that I didn't see a back door, so you'd have to walk around the building. No biggie, as we only have the trailer at the motel the last night of our stay.

Some of us can't just stay in fancy hotels, so we have to rough it by camping out under the stars and mosquitoes...

After the floor of the Stone in 02, abtech convinced me to rock the Radisson in 06, I went back in 07; definitely the choice for me.

I had one toilet flushing issue on Monday morning (I'll spare you the details) which was remedied by the time we returned. From my one stay there I dont see what all the complaints are about. I've had bigger issues in more expensive (allegedly higher class) hotels all across the country.

Certain amenities are good (I was a little jealous of the wally world proximity) but I learned from my first few track days that I am usually too tired to jump in a pool afterwards. That said, if I bring the family next year I will probably be at the Americinn so they can enjoy themselves a little more.

The Radisson has a pool, hottub and SUANA. Camping saves $$$ and is great because the nighttime visiting goes on longer... but excessive heat.... it will be tough to go back to camping

There wasn't a heat issue this year. All three nights were very cool.

No there was a cold issue! About froze in the morning. I like LOTS of heat I did my time in the frozen north (plus some) now it is all about heat

We didn't and I don't know if this will answer one way or the other but I seem to recall seeing a sign that said not to pour water over the heating elements...would that make it a dry sauna?
