This is the email I sent out to our immediate family. Please just let me know where you book so that I can look into shuttles from some spots that are nearest to the hotel(s). I am ALL about saving some money, so I figured just giving the list will allow people to find the cheapest hotels/utilize whatever points you may have etc. Thanks!!
Hi Guys,
I priced out hotels (just by going online) for September 4-7. I know some people will be coming earlier, some staying later but figured this was a good range. I didn't try to block rooms because they really didn't give me THAT big of a discount at the 2 hotels I tried. I figured everyone has their own preferences, and possibly points so here's the comprehensive list! All of these hotels are about 20 minutes from The Point. (I wish there were closer hotels but there aren't as the Point is residential) They are about 30 minutes from our house, and the airport as well. (Just different directions) I know that Casey's Aunt Nancy got the Fairfield for 50something/nt. online - she may have used expedia or one of those "name your own" sites but I'm not sure.
Let me know where you guys decide on so that I can try to see how much a shuttle would be from the vacinity of the hotels to the point and back for the wedding.
Thanks!
love
gina
*Holiday Inn Express - 877-863-4780 - this is the ONLY hotel that will NOT give refunds if you don't choose to stay there. As soon as it's booked it's done.
1 King or 2 Queens $90.00
*Fairfield Inn & Suites - 704-663-6100. This is where Casey's Aunt Nancy is staying. They include breakfast. If you have Marriott points you can use them for this hotel.
1 King is $94.00 and 2 Queens are $99.00.
*Wingate Inn - 704-664-4900. They too include breakfast
1 King or 2 Double Beds $76.30
*Sleep Inn- 704-799-7070.
1 King is $89.99. 2 Queens $94.99
*Hampton Inn- 704-660-7700. You can use Hilton points for this hotel.
1 King $129.00 2 Queens $109.00
The above hotels are all grouped together by exit 36. That is where the target and walmart and shopping centers are.
The below hotels are nextdoor to each other off exit 33. They are on the "quieter" side of town. Both sides are nice, the differences being the shopping and dining options. There are more at exit 36 but you can just go up 3 miles and be there in a minute if you stay at 33. I know, I'm rambling but I want to give everyone the best options and ideas of town.
These two hotels are also brand new - they opened within the last year.
*Spring Hill Suites- 704-658-0053. You can use Marriott points here as well. I blocked some rooms here, the price was about $100/nt. When I looked online this is what I found:
1 King OR 2 Queens $169.00
*Hilton Garden Inn- 704-663-6468. You can use Hilton points here as well. I blocked some rooms here too, and the price was about $100/nt. as well. This is what I found online:
I King or 2 Queens $93.00.
There are also three hotels to avoid at any cost. Yes, they're cheaper but yo'ure getting what you pay for here.
Super 8 - 704-662-6188 - $57.38/ 2 queens/nt.
Ramada Inn- 704-664-6556 - $63.20/2 queens or 1 king/nt.
Days Inn- 704-664-6100 - $59.46/2 queens or 1 king/nt.
Let me know if you have any questions or anything!!!
Love,
gina & casey

Thanks for taking the time to post all of these! It's extremely helpful.
Now that spring is here (well, the calendar says so anyway), be thinking about when you and Casey might like us to come up for a second engagement shoot! There's no rush, but I just thought I should mention it so you guys can plan it out with time to spare. :)
By the way, I love your new blog background, it's so cool!
