I paid 63.82 a night average. I found out this year they have a weekly rate, also. By Faith Stays at Days Inn Indiana. About 10 miles away. 375 for the week. They did better than I did.

That's what I've seen happening on a LOT of the hotels/motels in that area! It's been different chains so I don't think it is the software. I think it's called 'gouging' or as those doing it say 'supply and demand'.
I normally don't book through NQC, I do my own booking because I can usually find better rates but that may have changed this year. Also my schedule is subject to change so booking myself makes that easier if I have to change. But many of the motels/hotels are higher for the entire week, but most are just going up on the weekend.
I wonder if there is something in town that weekend in addition to NQC?

I have permanent seats for all 6 nights. Got the tickets for 2008 on Monday morning of NQC 2007 and got an upgrade on our seating. I normally don't book the hotel room until summer before NQC. We normally stay around the 3-5 miles out and the hotels sometimes drop their rates when it gets closer to NQC. I find it difficult to pay over $100/night for a room that normally books for around $60-$70/night. I don't think these hotels do any differently than any other city for a convention. Have been to Nashville for convention in February and their hotels do the same thing. It all depends upon those that want to pay the extra to be at the front door of the convention versus ability to drive.

I went to DI web site and checked prices on month prior to our date. The price everynight is 60.00. That's no discount added. Maybe NQC should change weeks!!

Ok if we start now we could build our own hotel, set our own prices and it would probably pay for itself in 2 or 3 years. We could all stay free for NQC.

Try Super 8 on Central Ave. Their rates this morning (AAA) was $85.00 for a queen suite. Two queen beds and a sofa. I booked a room at the Howard Johnson when I got home (you can only book 360 days out) and the room Sun - Thursday was $67.50, when I went back to modify and extend to Friday they had gone up to $90.00 a night. I didn't modify just book Friday night seperately.

The Fairfield Inn in Shepherdsville where I stayed this year averaged $80/night. When I tried to book a few minutes ago on their 800 #, the rate was over $300/night. What's up with that?
Needles to say, I declined.
Then, I looked on the NQC site, and saw where I could book through them at that same place for $109. That's not too bad. I'm holding that price, just in case. Maybe I'll check back with the hotel after the first of the year, and see where they're at on prices. Sometimes going direct is best. Sometimes ... not so much.

The 2008 Ryder Cup, one of professional golf's biggest events starts on Tuesday after NQC ends. That's the reason we were given on why the Hampton Inn went to over $300 per night!

Whether it be the NGC, Golf, Kentucky Derby or what for motels to gouge that much should be a crime. I know supply and demand has a lot to do with the price. There should be a price gouging law. The same thing happens with gasoline.

I'm a big believer in the free market, so I don't want government interference in pricing! I'll just take my business where I can get what I want at a price that I'm willing to pay. If enough of us do it that way, the hotels that are overcharging won't get the business and will have to lower their prices. That's where the demand part comes in!

Yes! BTW, we may be driving further for our hotel room next year!! Convenience only goes so far!!
