Rent a House in Big Spring through AirBnB.
As you know, Big Spring is still a busy place
these days, and many motel rooms are occupied by oil field and other temporary
workers. I have been researching the motel situation online and by telephone,
and have listed my findings below. In the event I could not make an online
reservation at a given motel for one room for our dates, I have not bothered to
call - those places are listed at the end.
Our preferred hotel is the Plaza Inn, because it is cheap and always has had
rooms for us over the years. Other hotels in Big Spring have nicer
accommodations, but we stay there (our room is comped) and we are happy with it.
In some cases I have been able to get a slightly better than usual rate, but
with the town as full as it is, the discount is not what we might have hoped
for. The Super 8, the Holiday Inn Express, the Hampton Inn and the Quality Inn
did try to give us a better deal. I have shown the Priceline rates for all
properties as of this writing to give you a comparison (but you should check
again). I have also included the
user ratings on Trip Advisor, along with Trip Advisor's own ranking of Big
Spring motels, to give you an idea of what you'd be getting for your money. I
recommend you look at a motel's website and location on Google maps before
making your reservation.
Many rooms have two queen sized beds, so if you can find someone to share the
room with (assuming that they don’t snore) that would be a big savings.
Given the overall situation, you should be making your reservation as soon as
possible. Be sure to tell them you are attending the Hang Gliding National
Championship.
I have included listings at the end for RV parks, but have only spoken with
Texas RV Park - I expect that the others may be full. If you were hoping to
bring your RV, be sure to call them ASAP. There is a six-person air conditioned
bunk room there for $1000/week, but they will not reserve it in advance.
We're looking forward to a fun competition in Big Spring's wonderful conditions!
I know that we had hoped for a deal with the new and historic Hotel Settles, but
this did not happen. I have not yet been able to reach the manager, but am still
hoping we can have some kind of social event there.
