Most asked
The questions the desk gets most
Do I pay when I book?
No. Reserve online or by phone and pay at the front desk when you arrive, cash or card. No card is taken to hold a standard reservation.
How far is the Speedway?
About seventeen miles south, a straight run down US 19/41. Allow considerably longer on a race day.
How many nights before a weekly rate applies?
Seven. Monthly rates start at 28 nights. Both are quoted by the front desk rather than published.
Can I check in in the middle of the night?
Yes. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, every day. Rooms are held until 8:00 PM unless you call to say you will be later.
Is parking free?
Yes, free surface parking on the lot beside the rooms, lit through the night. There are no tractor-trailer bays, so call ahead about anything larger than a van.
Can a whole crew stay together?
Usually. With 90+ rooms the desk can normally place a crew in adjoining rooms at short notice. Ask for a crew rate on the phone.
