2013 Rally Hotels

Hey everyone...If your planning on going to the 2013 Rally, hotel rooms are going fast. Which hotel is most the accommodating to Scooter Trash Rally attendees? :brow

When we checked into reservations in December most of the nicer motels and places close to the site were reporting as booked up. We ended up booking a room at the Travelodge Salem Capital, which seemed a reasonable compromise between cost and room quality. For us, this reservation is a backup as we plan to camp but have not had much info yet on camping space and showers at the rally site. Google shows some areas with trees but you really can't tell much from that, would be nice if there were a fairgrounds layout somewhere on the MOA site, showing camping and shower plans.

Best,

GTRider

The last two Nationals I attended, West Bend and Sedalia, had shower trailers plus the permanent shower buildings, which meant no lines.
I would think the shower trailers are used at all the Nationals now.

Here is a link to a map of the fairgrounds: [url]http://www.oregonstatefair.org/about-the-fair/map-of-the-grounds[/url]
Can get additional info on MOA website I believe.
