kyle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 There's people that want to spend $180 a night on a hotel room... and there's everybody else. Plus, the Holiday Inn is BOOKED SOLID, so it's not even a choice at this point. Where's everyone else staying? Was gonna do Paramount but it's too far. Thinking about Rush Lake but I'm not sure what other options there are closer to the action. I like Rush Lake because there are typically a lot of other Festers staying there so it's good for meeting other people, whereas staying at some other random hotel might be filled with "regular" people.

headtowall Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 the holiday inn is where we stole internet from when on tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 it's an annoying convenience fee...and split the cost up between 2-5 people makes it affordable. instead of taking a cab to and from some remote hotel...it's a necessary evil at this point.

thedavidescapeplan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Myself, and ten or eleven others, will be staying in a hotel that's like a ten minute drive away. This isn't a big deal since we are driving to Florida and will have vehicles to take us to and from town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Holiday Inn is all booked up anyways, so it's a moot point. Now I just need to figure out where to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you don't have a car, I highly recommend staying at the Holiday Inn if at all possible. If you have a car, but no DD, I highly recommend staying at the Holiday Inn. I can't remember where I stayed last year, it was like a 15-20 minute walk from all the fun, but it wasn't as awesome as staying at the Inn.

COMFORT INN UNIVERS (COMFORT INN) COMFORT INN UNIVERS 2435 S WEST 13TH ST GAINESVILLE FL 32608 I stayed there last year. Its not a bad place at all. A bit of a trek but we walked it a couple of times a day. I would definitely recommend it, it is considerably cheaper and you get free breakfast if you can get up in time. There is another place next door called the Days Inn as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 i might have found a friend of a friend a few blocks from everything. things are beginning to look up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 last year we stayed at the days inn on SW 13th and I plan on staying there again. It's across the street from a steak and shake and the cab rides are much cheaper than staying in the holiday inn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 you mean UF, FSU is in tallahasse How far is it from campus? The fest isn't really one location, but the closest venue is 1982, which is like a 5-10 minute walk from campus, and they actually did an acoustic show on campus last year.
