Bulls 1 Posted December 4, 2005 Group: Member Topic Count: 63 Content Count: 551 Reputation: 26 Days Won: 1 Joined: 10/31/2002 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Well I look at the travel packages offered. I could not afford nor did I want to pay the Omni price (team Hotel). The alternative package (package #4) is the Courtyard Charlotte which is miles away from downtown. Most if not all the parties will take place around Tryon st between 2nd and 4th st. The team hotel is on Trade st or one block from 4th and Tryon. So I booked a room at the Hilton City Center about 2 blocks away from the team hotel. Much cheaper than the Omni price and comparable to the Courtyard but it is downtown where the action is. My time to call for tickets is from 12:30 to 2:30. I'll be on the phone at 12:31.See ya in Charlotte and Go Bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHUSF Posted December 5, 2005 Group: Member Topic Count: 11 Content Count: 67 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 11/26/2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was able to book the Courtyard for $113.41 taxes and all. I called to confirm the distance from downtown. The guy told me a 15 min. cab ride. Website says 10 miles away. Personally I'd rather try to stay somewhere with USF folks. Rooms can be canceled though so may check later to see if anything else opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper than the Hilton but farther away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a 3 star airport area one for $50-$60. Downtown would probably be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
