We used to stay at the American Inn right next door the Holiday Inn Express.
American Inn is dive hotel, bar attached to it and pool area to get together after show hours.
Cheap smoky rooms, but it was just a place to crash and get a shower the next morning.
Had a lot of good times sitting around the pool.
Then we did the Econo Lodge for a few years, across I-29 from American Inn.
Last year one of our members found schringes in the bed of his truck when he got home.
So we opted to get in a better area.
Don't get me wrong, We felt safe in that area and there are some good places to eat real close going to and from the hotel.
But with the show hosting club, recommending a hotel in a better, area, Vicki and I will be staying there.
North up toward the airport.

Another tip, stop at the Red X to stock up on whatever you may need. It's on the way to the show and a very interesting store.
