Good news! The Microtel Inn in Bryson City has extended a discount to DGRR attendees. They are offering one night free if you stay three. So, Thursday is free and you pay only for Friday and Saturday. This amounts to a savings of $44 over the normal rate ($172 total versus $216).

To book under this rate simply call 828-488-7900 and use the block code "Deals Gap Rotary Rally"

The hotel is quite nice and about 10 or so miles from the event:

Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham Bryson City | Bryson City, NC 28713 Hotel

I'm staying there this year and hope to see you also

 

+1 ^^^

I stayed there last year and it was a very nice place with a great free breakfast lounge.

 

Great info. Thanks David!

 

Thanks David!! I left them a message awhile back but never got an answer from them..

 

No problems Phil. Glad to help.

 

Just locked in my reservation for 18th to 21st. Painless and easy.

 

To those considering reservations, they still have a few rooms with double queens left but not many.

 

Wanted to give this a bump for those of you that have not booked yet for Deals Gap. It's the best event on the east coast and should not be missed. The Microtel is very close by and we are getting a great deal so call them now

 

Thanks for the reccomendation David, I just booked my room. See you there

-Geoff

 

Glad it worked and see you there.

 

Hey david, i just called to book a room and the lady said the 15 rooms you "blocked" off for the event were already booked. Is there a way you can call back to see if you can open up more rooms for the event? the lady said the best time to reach the manager would be tomorrow from 9am-3pm.

Thanks doll<3

 

Sure. Anything for you

 

I've got a message into the manager about extending the block to at least another 5 rooms. Will keep you posted.

 

thank you good sir, we can sneak out late at night and have romantic talks under the stars! =)

 

i'm surprised they only offered a limited number of rooms... they're NEVER busy during DGRR.... You'd think they'd want to fill the place up

 

They tell me they are pretty full but that could be marketing. Still waiting on a call back from the manager. Benny's offer of a romantic moonlit walk has me motivated

 

Last year the microtel was pretty full during DGRR. I wouldn't be surprised if they are filling up.

 

Fair enough... when I stayed there a couple years ago, it was dead...

 

i call bluff! when i called the lady said they had plenty of rooms left but none for the dgrr event... whack. i need the free day as im shooting to arrive thursday!

hahah glad i can lure you in

 

I'll be arriving very late on Friday.

I have an appointment Friday morning that has been scheduled for a year that I can't miss. As soon as that wraps up I'll be starting the 11-12 hour drive. If anyone wants to be my hero and have a cold beer waiting for me...

-Geoff

 

Probably a bluff

In any event, they just added on 10 extra rooms at the DGRR rate so call and you should be good to go. Gonna be a good time at the Microtel with that large of a group.

 

whatt 12 hrs from Toronto? its 13hrs from NJ........ what am i doing wrongg


haha what do you do as far as food goes? usually i split a cabin and we just go to the supermarket, but my "posse" flaked this year I'm planning to bring a mini grill tho, haha... if anyone wants ill probably set up the bubble tech tent in the parking lot and grill LOL well until i get the boot hahahaha

 

They have a restaurant on site, but I don't think it's been open the last couple years during the event. The Hotel though is literally on the edge of Bryson City. You could just about walk to Hardees or the liquor store... lol

 

Going to stock up on a few things from the local grocery store but mostly eat out. We had a good time last year at the restaurant just past the resort that caters to the white water rafting gang. It's about 5 minutes past the Nantahala resort and they are right on the water. Very casual and inexpensive. Good breakfast and lunch.

Other than that, there are lot's of options close to the hotel, right across the highway and into town. Probably will check out those as well. Finally, we've eaten in the past at the Nantahala Resort restaurant and have like the food as well but it was more pricey. Heard they were having trouble getting the liquor license back renewed so hopefully that is now resolved

 

ill call tomorrow to make a reservation
Yes david im shooting to go.
