A question for the locals. Which hotel is better by the competition area? The Red Roof Inn or Super 8?

I'll be making reservations for 9 rooms tomorrow and could use a heads up.

Thanks

[DeAnnaC]

When I've driven by and paid attention, the Red Roof has a lot of constuction worker type trucks in the lot. It's within walking distance to a few restaurants if you need that to be close. The area around the Super 8 is mostly under construction, the Burger King mentioned in the Google description has been torn down, the building next to it has been boarded up. The Culpepper's is still there.
I have never stayed at either place though.

Team 1094 looks forward to seeing you all in a few short weeks

I don't know what hotel would suit your team well, but we found the wynngate by wyndham a good hotel with free internet (only one in the area AFAIK) and is right by Dave and Busters so the team can have a fun evening after the competition days. It would be great to have other teams in the same hotel. Any other teams staying in that hotel?

P.S. See you all at the regional!

Thanks Tomasz and others:

Sounds like the experience will not be "disney like" but I expected that with the rates we were quoted. Should the hair on the back of my neck be raised while making these reservations? Having "construction workers" staying at the site sometimes signals worn down accomodations. Should I be concerned?

Tomasz,
Do you happen to have more info on Wynngate? It may be out of our price range but it doesn't hurt to check.

Thanks again everyone!
