Note About Hotels:

Listed below are the hotels that we have blocked rooms at.  There is a price range for everyone!  All hotels are "Flat Rate", which means you may have as many people in a room as you want.

Any rooms unreserved by June 15th will be released from their blocks.  Please book your rooms by June 15th to be guaranteed a room!
Do NOT wait until the last minute.  Seriously!
Within a 1/2 mile of these hotels there is another small grouping of hotels but they are priced slightly higher and there is no event discount.

When calling into the hotel, please refer to the dates of July 11-13 and request the "Thai Boxing Discount".  Even if you are only booking for 1 of the nights, you need to still refer to the dates of the block otherwise you may be told there isn't a room available since they are blocked.  Please let us know if you have any questions.
