FAQs

Question

Do you have a hotel block for guests?

Answer

Yes! Please see the travel page on our website for details of our hotel block.

Question

What's the best hotel to book?

Answer

We have room blocks at several hotels to fit different preferences (see the Travel page for the full hotel list and booking links). For a quieter stay, we recommend Country Inn & Suites by Radisson and Home2 Suites by Hilton. Both hotels include free breakfast and free parking. For a downtown experience (walkable to restaurants and nightlife), we recommend Courtyard by Marriott and Amway Grand Plaza. We'll be staying at the Amway Grand Plaza with the wedding party. If you'd like to stay nearby, we'd love for you to book at the Amway or Courtyard, as these hotels are within walking distance of each other.
