Where should I stay/hotels
Answer
We recommend staying near the bus drop-off locations in Saugatuck or Holland for ease of transportation at the end of the evening. A one-way bus will depart the Felt Estate at 11:00 PM with drop-offs at the Maplewood Hotel in Saugatuck and the Tulyp Hotel in Holland. In Saugatuck, Wickwood Inn and The Inn of Saugatuck are less than a one-minute walk from the Maplewood. In Holland, the Courtyard by Marriott and Haworth Hotel are within a short walk of the Tulyp. We are not holding room blocks and encourage guests to book early. Details on the Transportation and Hotels tab.
