It is up to each individual to reserve their own room!
The rooms will fill up quickly so I recommend you call (or reserve on line) asap
You may get less expensive rates on line.

Most of this information was gathered over the last 5 years so is subject to change.
Caution: prices have gone up and tax in TN is at 14.75%!
So far this year I have contacted motels in Oak Ridge for weekend rates, April 12-13.
Super 8 then Econo Lodge is where most of us have stayed over the last five years as it is where the bus driver, rented van and most car poolers have stayed.
The Econo Lodge is offering us
group rate of 10% off
so it would help us all if you will choose to stay at one of these, starting with Econo Lodge.
(They are next to each other, used to be the same complex & are owned by Pat Pillay.)
To get the group rate say you are with the “MISTBC group”.
If we don’t meet a minimum of 10 rooms in Econo Lodge, to qualify for the 10% discount then that same rate applies to anyone aged 50 or more, members of AAA or AARP.
