sad part is if few can even get to stay at the hotel and have to look elsewhere.
that would be fine if it was in a city or place where you could find things within walking distance.

it is what it is though and most have to tough it out or not go.

I have a 4x8 table with a 6 X 10 oriental rug under it. The room has a 3/4 inch thick wood floor. I put the rug there to lessen the impact the table weight on the floor. It’s been there 20 years and hasn’t caused any problems.

Many old school road players got used to sleeping in their cars if they got tapped out. Might be an alternative to those larcenous room rates.

For those that booked when the 2027 Group code was first shown on the Derby City website in early September, the group rate for rooms is $155/night. Is that larcenous? If money is tight, I would expect one to have a roommate and each would pay under $100 per night.

Actually, $155 is cheaper than any nightly hotel rate I paid this year with respect to attending other pro pool events. My UK Open hotel room cost more, My US Open 9ball hotel room cost more, My Turning Stone hotel room cost more, My Las Vegas Open hotel room cost more. Is this rate really out of bounds?

Yes, hotel rooms used to be cheaper all over the place. Even so, one need not stay at the host hotel if they'd rather not and there are cheaper rooms elsewhere.

I wish everyone best of luck in securing a room at an acceptable nightly rate. The Derby City Classic is not to be missed.
