Sherry Ganoe I went on to priceline this morning and got the holiday inn express for $77 plus tax for Saturday night, I did this by bidding so if anyone else wants to try go to priceline.com then to hotels in Bartow for Oct 16th, click on the option to bid on a hotel, make sure you narrow the search to Bartow only,not all areas and there are only two hotels, select the 2 and a 1/2 star option,the holiday inn express is the only option the other hotel is one star, if you bid is accepted your credit card will

Sherry Ganoe The closest days inn I found is 14 miles from the fields and the rate is 47. a night

Sherry Ganoe I have done some checking on hotels for Bartow, I have bids from $45-$90 for Saturday night, some of these hotels are 10-15 minutes from the fields, the holiday inn express quoted me $86 for the night off their posted $91 but when I asked about the tax exempt she didn't know how that would work so took my information and is to call me back within 24 hours. Let me know your thoughts........
