I've been watching and waiting for information regarding Long Course Nationals - particularly hotel information. I finally found a link on the Spire site to USMS hotels. As I began the process, I found this curious statement:
This is a "Stay to Play" tournament.
All teams are required to reserve a hotel room block through
Traveling Teams in order to participate in the tournament.
Does this mean that individuals are prohibited from booking their own rooms? Due to the lack of information, many of us have already booked rooms that meet our personal needs. Can someone clarify?
I am at the national coaching clinic in Nashville this weekend and we have some questions from the coaches regarding hotels for the meet this summer at Spire. I guess the local hotels have been sold out since March, and now the closest rooms available are 45 minutes away. Do you have any recommendations for these coaches to find lodging closer? If so can we post this information in the website?
Thanks in advance.
Try the hotels again,individually by phone.Evidently Spire had reserved blocks of rooms,but they were only open for us to get starting in late May. All I know is that I called Spire and they said they were sure the hotels had rooms and to call the hotels.I called Sleep Inn and told them what Spire said and they said"are you with USMS" I said yes and they said they had a block of rooms,but the contract wasn't complete, call back in a few days.I did and got a room.This was in late May.
