Have you contacted any hotel's for a group rate yet? I did a bit of looking the other night, cheapest I found was $69/night. It looks like Traci (Girlfriend) and I are in, Outlawd and family is a possibility. hopefully Marcus too.

There is always the priceline.com option though. When I started one, it kept telling me "based on recent transactions" until I put in $40. I chose the airport area and West Des Moines. I think that is where Timmmay and I stayed on our way to SZ 02. I know we were closer to Brad's place than yours, but like you said 20 minutes will get you anywhere.

Is there a Holiday Inn Express near you? They have nice breakfasts every morning and those kick azz shower heads that make you feel smarter. We all know I need all the help I can get!

Is it going to make it harder to get a room since the state fair is going on?



It's especially easy to get around to the South side now that the highway 65 bypass is complete. You can stay in the newer hotels in West Des Moines and still get there in 20 minutes or less. If you're stuck on getting Holiday Inn Express nearer Buckshot though, here's the one you want H I Xpress on Fluer Dr.

Otherwise, I know Hampton Inn serves good breakfastesssesesee too...
