We have secured a block of 20 rooms at The Comfort Inn at 2238 North Main Street, Princeton, IL, 61356 for $125/night including free hot breakfast. Reservations must be made by phone at 815-875-3371. You will need to speak with Neil and reference the Hofstetter Wedding when you book. All reservations must be made by January 1st to ensure the rooms are saved and you get the room block price. Additional rooms can be added to the block if the 20 rooms are spoken for prior to January 1st. There is also an AmericInn at 2120 Claude Bailey Parkway, Princeton, IL with rooms for around $135/night, but room blocks were not available. 815-872-5000 or go online to book.

YES! We still have 7 cabins available through our saved block. Final payment is due 11/30, so ou will need to get it booked quickly if you want our block pricing. Of course, as long as the cruise still has cabins available you can also book after that date. Deb has locked in pricing until the end of November for us though. If you would like more information on the cruise, go to the "schedule" tab on this site for the itinerary and if you would like to book, you can contact Deb at 815-674-3481 and she will get you booked!
Question
Where should we stay if we plan to go to Key West?Where should we stay if we plan to go to Key West?
Answer
We were unable to secure any reasonably affordable room blocks in Key West. The lower priced hotels would not do room blocks and the ones that did, were pretty pricey. We decided it would be best to let everyone just choose their own rooms and the price point they would like to pay. We are staying in a VRBO and renting a scooter to get around. You are welcome to stay wherever you would like and we can keep everyone updated on our plans while we are there. If you would like to join us for any of them, that's great! If not, we are so happy to have you join us for the ceremony and spend the evening afterward with us. You are spending the money to come see us, enjoy the things you want to do while you are there!
