Just reserved rooms there as well. Rooms are pretty pricey throughout the area. I would of been bummed if I went to book a room late this summer and could not find anything.

There is a few hotels in Auburn/Opelika. The reason that its shows no availablilty when you do a search is because they haven't started reserving rooms for football season yet. I suggest calling some of the hotels on the phone and inquiring about when they are going to open up reservations for football season.I did and now know the date to call back to reserve my rooms.Just a little FYI.Hope that helps!Go Bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a better deal to be had, for instance a group rate with substantive discount or increased availability, we can always can these and go another route. ...when they are going to open up reservations for football season. I would assume that football season is their 'high' season, and as such rooms will be priced accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it's better priced and easier to book a room there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link for more info:http://www.columbusga.org/parks/park_sites/riverwalk.htmI think bikes can be rented downtown. If you're interested in this local attraction, consider staying at the Marriott, on the edge of the historic district downtown. The Riverwalk will be right across the street, the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts is the next block over, and a variety of restaurants, brew pubs, and night clubs are an easy two-block walk from the hotel.
