Check out the Best Western just south of downtown. It's relatively new, not downtown, and below the radar a bit. You'll be able to get a better deal during the week. Last year, my friend got weeknights for under $125 and this year they have vacancies from what I heard.

With some of the places up and down Rt. 9/9P you might want to be a bit careful.

We stayed there two weeks ago, the second weekend of the meet. $269/night Friday and Saturday. But their breakfast station was immense (BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER) and the service was very solid. Claimed they were not sold out for any night the rest of the meet.

$269 on the weekend? Any idea about during the week? I don't think they are a corporate owned. Call them and find out. Ask if they offer a horsemen's rate, Tripple A, etc. Good luck.

I called several area motels this morning and all gave the standard price, even when I pushed them. Having said that, they're hopeing business lost comes back at the end of the meet. One place said that if you call a few days before the date you're going they have dropped from $125 to $90 and I would think others would do similar. The poster who said they got Community Court for $129, that's the lowest I've heard them in years and years.

RE: Community Court. Last week I called it was $159. Last night was $129. So what Spyder says above is probably right on.

Anybody still going I suggest calling the day before and getting the owner on the line. Give them a good story and you'll get a heck of a deal. I got a $199 motel for $139 downtown.
