FocusFest 2013 - Official Lodging

[BLRich1]

Below is the official hotel for FocusFest13. We have reserved a block of rooms, just follow the link below to reserve your room. If you would rather call in, the number is also below. Please tell them it is for the FocusFest block of rooms to get the discounted rate. The rate per night at the group rate is $123.95/night.

Below are also some of the amenities the Drury hotels provides including free popcorn all day and snacks and drinks in the evening. There is plenty of parking in their lot and the adjacent movie theater parking lot so we shouldn't have to be fighting for space.

The hotel is a quick 15 minute shot down the interstate to the track and close to local businesses.

Please make note you must make your reservation by June 19th or they will release any remaining room back into their general pool. We will start a "roommate" thread for those of you looking to help split the cost of a room.

It's too bad the area around Gateway doesn't have lodging and stuff, but this is almost a direct shot using I-64 to the track.

Plenty of things to do around in Fairview as well. Good eating too.

Looking forward in coming home this summer. Perfect timing and place.

I should take you out to Baldwin lake on the back roads...

Yeah, this location isn't too far from the track, but at the same time far enough. There are plenty of restaurants near by.

There are closer hotels to the track, but not where you wanna stay. I've stayed in Cohokia and Caseyville before for work, but I would say it's def worth the extra few miles to stay in fairview heights.

I reserved mine at the days inn in downtown St Louis. Its 6.4 miles/12 min from the track. Never been to the area so idk if its rough or not but it's $110 per night and free parking (which I've noticed there's not a lot of that). The address is 2810 N 9th Street

Not a bad hotel, but not the best area. its on the north side of downtown and can be a little hard to find.

Not the best area as in its the hood? Lol
