There are still rooms available at the Red Roof, but the Red Roof in Springfield is not a typical Red Roof.?? There are no outside entrances to each room and rates are $110/night +.? Also - the Ramada Limited DOES allow pets.?

It would be interesting to find out from the Holiday Inn how many rooms were booked by people.? My guess is that some people called and reserved?20+ rooms which happens every year and shouldn't.?? This has always happened at past Nationals.? Sometimes people have convinced ENTIRE hotels to let them book the whole thing so that they as individuals can get a room or two free.?? Tiffany - The Ramada Limited looks very nice with what appears to be a lot of grass, free breakfast, gym, pool, etc. and it is $69/night on-line.? There appears to be lots of rooms available there......there were yesterday anyway!? :)?

Thank you in advance for correcting my information. This happens every year Tiff. The host hotel in Colorado was sold out at the April board meeting in Houston the same year. Many get wind of which hotel it is and block off several rooms, only to be released months later. I will say, the Holiday Inn at Springfield is not a large HI by any means, and when I checked for the Aussie people they said they would only commit around 60 rooms to any function. Not sure if the show chair has convinced them to commit more or not. So if that were the amount of rooms, I could see how they would go very quickly. Perhaps a message to the show chair Bill Burgraff would be in order.
