There is a hotel less then 1 mile.......can't remember the name but I think they do offer a slightly discounted rate.

OR

There is plenty of space to pitch a tent or you could bum with the rest of the group in the training room.

The Sleep Inn has pretty nice rooms and an acceptable free breakfast. I stay there every time I go to Palatka.

If you want the complete Palatka experience, you have to sleep in the camper with Art.

I usually stay in the Best Western in East Palatka. Granted it is a little away from the big-city experience you get in downtown Palatka, but it affords you a country experience that money can't buy. Actually, I guess you can, for about $70 a night. Also, they have a pretty in-depth free breakfast. And you're not much of a traveler if you can't turn a free breakfast into a free lunch, too.

Walking distance to a pretty good restaurant right on the river. Can't remember the name, but if you're lying on the sidewalk in front of it, you can see the name.

The Sleep Inn is the closest. Its relatively new. They also just slammed up a Holiday inn Express right behind the Sleep Inn. I think it just opened within the last couple months if not weeks.

these new places are NOT inexpensive--no place in palatka is more than a few minutes from the dz so if you're price conscious--shop around-- Cool

Thanks guys. I got a room at Sleep Inn. $70/night. Happy with that as long as it does not suck.
