Alex Burr - hester_nec Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 In 2014 my car club, the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club, in hosting it's annual International meet at the French Lick Springs resort - @ $139 a night. Add taxes to that and I would suspect thier restaurant food prices are in line with the room rate. A lot expensive for us po' folk!!!! Somebody had to have a moment of insanity to book us there. So, my question for all you rolling roadies out there what other accomodations might be available, say in a 25 mile circle (closer would be better), that offer accomodations in the $50 to $100 range, maybe $75 to $110 would be better to search for. I'd also like to know about reasonable eating places - we just held our 2012 meet in Gettysburg at a Wyndham hotel at $139 a night. Even tho I had a room-share $80 (including taxes - daily) a night was close to the edge for me. Word got out quick that we didn't have to buy $15 hamburgers at the hotel resturant - if you're ever in Gettysburg have your meals at the Gettysburg Family Resturant - great food at prices under $15. I've checked out a couple places within 25 or 30 miles, rates in those venues run $55 to $140 - it looks like to me all these motels are trying to keep up with French Lick. I will be eternally greateful for any information you may be able to provide. Thank you Hudsonly, Alex Burr Memphis, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've not stayed anywhere in French Lick, but I'm aware of two independent motels that promise reasonable rates. Lane's Motel: http://www.lanesmotel.com/ Michael T's Motel: http://www.michaeltsmotel.com/ Both are on SR 56, kind of on opposite outskirts of town. Good luck! -Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) I can't help with the lodging, since I always stay in one of the timeshare units behind the hotel. However, you also asked about food, and I think I can help there. The folowing is a list of places I have eaten in the area that I can recommend.
