The Microtel is right next door to TS...Brand new

By the summer event, there should be two more hotels complete...

Don't forget Lucky Liquors right across the street..Kinda small but they have the basics..

Just down the road Nice and Easy has a decent selection of beer..

The Village of Oneida is only 3 or 4 miles away..

 

[skip2134]

I'm quite sure that End Rail Billiards in Oneida is still closed but I'm not positive. If anyone knows please let me know. I'll be there hopefully for the first couple days to watch some locals play. If anyone is interested in shooting between big matches, there are pool halls is both directions of I-90. Hippos is always a great time in Yorkville. Last year I got a room a couple miles from Hippos and drove back and forth to tuning stone. I always have a great time watching the worlds best at Turning Stone. Great event for players and spectators. Two thumbs up to Mike Zuglan and staff.
