I just spoke with "Sharon" at the Comfort Inn in Portsmouth and she has agreed to give the Ameraucana Breeders Club a group discount of $72 plus tax ($160.20 for two nights) in either a 2-double beds or 1-king size bed. We have until September 12th to book with a discount, then prices go back up. Contact information below.
Jeff...I got your rate lowered to $160.20. After hanging up, I realized you may have wanted the king size with the whirlpool in it for $100 a night. If so, you'll have to call her back. She has your email so I think she is sending you confirmation. If anyone else has already booked there at a higher rate, call them back and let them know you are with our group to get your rate lowered.
There are fast food places around the motel, but for a sit down restaurant like Bob Evans and the steakhouse Jeff mentioned, you have to drive into Portsmouth about 3 miles. It would be great to have everyone together in one motel. I have not been there, so I can't personally recommend it, but I have spoken to others who have and it sounds like one of the ones to choose if you're going to the show. They have set aside 15 double bed rooms and 10 king-size for us. I told her we may need more, so please let me know if you book a room there.
