Mustang Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Anyone checked out room rates in Lexington for the state tournament??? The block of hotels where I normally stay, just off of the circle on Harrodsburg Road - Baymont, Comfort, Fairfield, Hampton Inn are asking between $148 and $178 a night for rooms during the state tournament dates. The Campbell House wants $126 a night for what I call their "overflow" rooms. The ones in the back that they only use for big events.. To me this is outright price gouging. One of the (few) good things about having the tournament in Louisville back in the day was that they "fair traded" room rates across the board for all hotels. Sad.

But none of what you said is nearly as sacrilegious as three dollar nachos
Guest Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Overpriced? Go to GABP and get nachos for only 7.50:-)
Mustang Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Mustang, you are a wise man. But none of what you said is nearly as sacrilegious as three dollar nachos Yes, but they'd have to pay me about $50 to eat nachos.

LaQunita on Stanton Way sits right off of the exit and is affordable (average of $75 a night), clean & comfortable, has free Wi-Fi, a free breakfast, and sits next door to a Cracker Barrel, a Waffle House, and a McDonalds as well as a couple of gas stations. It's also a quick and easy 5-7 minute drive to Rupp. Also avoid $10 per session parking rates as there is sometimes limited free street parking available within walking distance of Rupp on Short St. or 2nd Street. Once you reach the backside of the Victoria Shopping Center the remainder of the walk to Rupp is all indoors if by chance it's chilly or raining. Edited February 13, 2016 by B-Ball-fan
theguru Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Great deal compared to Bengals' games. How were they?

Sportsaholic Mamaw Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I said "No thanks" when I learned the price. Doesn't apply to non-profit but prices will increase if minimum wage goes to $15@ hour. Businesses will charge more and not cut into their profit margin. I don't think we've seen how high they can go.
