I am in the process of planning a ride for June 2008. It is going to be just a few guys and I am looking for some cheap places to stay. I dont really care as long as I can shower and sleep. I have checked around online and just cant seem to agree with a $70 a night place to just sleep and shower. Any suggestions?

Thanks for that link Electarick...

If you're going to be in that area during the week, you shouldn't have a problem finding a place at or below that rate. If it's on a weekend, you might as well forget about it. Fontana Village has some good deals on rates depending what you're needing. If you're willing to share a place with the people you're riding with, you can check this place out.. They have 2 and 3 bedroom cabins that you could get to below $70.00 a night when you divide it by 3 or 4 people. (Don't know how many friends you have)

Try Martin's Hotel in Maggie Valley. A real nice ole guy has run it for 30 somethin yrs. Stayed there a couple times myself. Nothin fancy, clean rooms and very reasonable.

 

Hey stu07hd Some of us have rode the BRP a couple of times and we have always managed to find low cost motels off the parkway. Usually independently owned. Showers and clean beds and good people trying to make a living.

 

You didn't say when you going.Keep in mind the Tenn. state rally is June 5,6,7.Rooms may be harder to find.The rally is in Townsend.

 

I used to live in Roanoke (and wish I still did), and its a beautiful place. Where you will be getting off the BRP will be on 220, and I think there is a Ramada Inn, I think thats the closest hotel. Just look for hotels near 220 and 419. I cannot remember many hotels, but Hotel Roanoke is historical and nice. Hope this helps...if you need more info, give me a shout

 

We stayed here a few years ago and found it very nice. We will stay there again when down that way.

Roanoke was an overnight stop on Run For The Wall in 2007.Rate at the Quality Inn was $62.00.
