HOTEL INFORMATION

MOTEL UPDATE  9/4/09

For the dates of the FIELD EVENTS Oct 19 - 23rd (only)  the following motels have rooms available:  Best Western,  Super 8

REGENCY INN  (formerly Motel 6) has rooms available from Oct 19 thru Oct 29th. Regency Inn was just added to the  recommended list as it has new owners and managers. See the motel listing for rates and pet fee.

FOR ALL MOTELS we recommend calling direct on the local number.

If reservations at any of the motels were made by one person for a group, please put the rooms in individual names at this time.

IF YOU HAVE BOOKED ROOMS THAT YOU DO NOT NEED, PLEASE RELEASE THEM NOW.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

There is not a host hotel for this event.
All social events will take place at the show site

GRCA/COGRC  does not guarantee the listed rates or terms.  The Show Committee does  not have a contract with any hotel. All arrangements are between you and the hotel.  However, the hotels listed on this site are under the show committee jurisdiction for damage.  Complaints by any hotel will be investigated and a bench hearing will be called.
Please be considerate and respectful of hotel property.

Each hotel will have it's own cancellation/penalty policy.  However, we do ask that if you decide not to come, PLEASE cancel your hotel reservations in time for someone else to be able to use the room.
Common courtesy should be the name of the game.
Thank you!

Individual hotels do not have any advantage over others, other than individual preference.  Prices range from $60.00 to $120. Most of the hotels are very moderate in price and amenities. Please check the list below for hotels that require pet deposits/fees.  We were unable to get these waved.  A new hotel is expected to be completed prior to our event.  We will announce this as soon as we have further information on this hotel.

All motels are within 6 miles from the show site – 10 miles from the field site.  They are either south on Van Buren (Hwy 81) or west on Garriott (Hwy 412). Call the local phone numbers for the motels that have blocked rooms and given a discount.  Mention GRCA National Specialty.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: 

  • You will be required to have crates placed on plastic at all hotels.
  • All dogs must be crated when unattended.
  • Absolutely no grooming in hotel rooms.
  • Dogs may stay at the showsite in the grooming area overnight.
  • We are planning on locking the building at 12:00 and opening up at 6:00 am (tentative).
  • If dogs are left overnight, you must have an emergency phone number very visible. 
  • The show committee will be keeping in close contact with all hotels.  Exhibitors will be responsible for any damage.  Show committee will visit all hotels during this event and take any appropriate action necessary.
  • Hotels will not accept reservations prior to October 15.  Different hotels have different dates they will begin accepting reservations.  The exceptions are posted below.
  • You may only book 2 rooms under one household.
  • Please do not "hoard" hotel rooms by getting reservations at various hotels. This only enhances the usual National Hotel room frenzy.  There are adequate rooms available and all are approximately the same distance from the show and field grounds.

 

 

EVENT APPROVED HOTELS:

 

As of March 31, substantial progress is being made on the new Hampton
Inn that is being built, but the management will not confirm at this time
that it will be ready for the National. We'll keep you posted as

be ready in time for the National.

RAMADA INN - 3005 W Owen K Garriott (Hwy 412) – 580-234-0440

PROBLEM REGARDING RAMADA INN RESERVATIONS
The Ramada Inn manager has informed us that due to a computer crash in March, some of the reservations have been lost. If you reserved a room prior to March please call the local number for Ramada Inn and let them check on your reservation. They need to know the NAME the reservation was made in - the confirmation number is no good since they have a new computer system. At this time they are completely booked so if your reservation was lost please check the website for available rooms at other motels. The manager is very upset that this has happened and is very sorry for the inconvenience.

We (the show committee) know this is frustrating. We will keep the motel list updated for vacancies and we are certain there will be cancellations as people find out that they won't be coming after all.
