For those people who plan to attend the Region 1 Championships in RI on May 3rd and 4th, we have a change to the available Hotels listed on our NOR. Motel 6 has recently opened a Hotel in the area and the rates are very good. I just reserved a room and it was $54/night. The NOR will be changed but I wanted to alert those who may have already booked a room someplace else.
Hope to see you there,

you might want to call and reserve a block of rooms.....at group rate.
you will generally beat the lowest rate they have by at least 10% which is nice for those coming to your event.
the block is normally held with no deposit or credit card info on it up to some point (2-3 weeks prior to the event) which is generally after the registrations need to be in anyway.
you need to generally call the actual hotel to do this.

Hi Doug,
I made a number of calls to area Hotels. The going rate for this weekend among the hotels that have been around for awhile was between $120-$140/night. The best group rate I got was $109 for Friday and $119 for Saturday.
Motel 6 just opened its doors at this location and must be the reason for the low rate. $54.00 is for three people in our room. That works out to $37.00/person for the weekend.
That is pretty good, don't you think?

you might want to reserve a block of rooms for people at that rate....that waythe rate is secured.
right now I think most people are not planning that far out.
