Creation Weekend<\/em><\/strong> in Cincinnati \u2014\u00a0Housing Information<\/h2>\n

[UPDATED – 4\/24\/2014: Link and info provided for the Lawrenceburg Holiday Inn Express. Also (4\/26), note added to the Comfort Inn & Suites info.]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve tried to find hotel deals for the weekend in the area, but most places are very upfront with us and say that they are likely to be completely booked on Memorial Day Weekend, even without the extra business that our group would provide.\u00a0However<\/em>, some places have still been kind enough to extend some discounts to us, and that information will be reported on this page.<\/p>\n

As of this writing [4\/18\/2014] some of the information is still being settled — for instance, one of the Holiday Inns wants to set up a special “group code” for our guests to use when they book that will ensure the right rates apply. Consequently, some of the details are not going to be available on his page just yet. However, we will post what we do have as we get it.\u00a0And<\/em> we’ll at least give you some estimates of what is being worked out so you can properly budget.<\/p>\n

Those things said, here are your options — the same options as given on the main page, but with more details:<\/p>\n

OPTION: STAYING WITH LOCAL BRETHREN<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We’d love to have enough space for everyone, but we just don’t! However, we would like to house everyone we can.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in staying with a local family, please indicate this on the reservation form. Our local housing coordinator, Mr. Steve Woolley, will review all the information that comes in and will try to place as many people as he can, based on the submitted information, with local members\u00a0who are making their houses available. He may need to contact you for additional information, so if you indicate that this is your preference, you may get a call from him.<\/p>\n

Facts is facts, though, and most of you will likely need a hotel to stay in. The options below will list that information…<\/p>\n

OPTION: STAYING AT A LOCAL HOTEL<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Here we will include information concerning hotel stays and discounts.\u00a0However<\/em>, some of you–as discussed on the main page–may find a\u00a0better deal<\/em> than what we list here, including the possibility of combining your hotel reservation with Creation Museum tickets for a package deal. On the possibilities of a package deal, the option below will discuss that. This section, rather, will assume that you are just looking for hotel space.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0all<\/span> cases, if you can find a better deal on your own, go for it! We are making no commitments to any of these hotels concerning how many rooms they may book and we are getting nothing from them but the discount. So, please, by all means, feel free and book a different location. Also, in\u00a0all<\/span> cases, be sure you verify the details of your reservation (final cost, when they will debit your card, what the cancellation policy will be, etc.) and get a confirmation number.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the hotels we have talked to and the discounts they are offering to us.<\/p>\n

HOTELS IN LAWRENCEBURG, INDIANA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The hotels in Lawrenceburg are about 15 minutes away from where we will be meeting for Sabbath services and our presentations, but they are only about 5 minutes (according to advertising) from the Creation Museum, so they may be a good consideration for some of you. Also, so far we are finding some cheaper rates for some there as opposed to hotels closer to the meeting place in Cincinnati, itself. Here are some we’ve looked at:<\/p>\n

\nHOLIDAY INN EXPRESS\u00a0–\u00a0LAWRENCEBURG, INDIANA
\n<\/strong>765 East Eads Pkwy, Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025
\n<\/strong>[UPDATED – 4\/24\/2014]<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Holiday Inn Express in Lawrenceburg is a very nice place and is offering a really good discount compared to their normal Memorial Day Weekend rates, especially for Sunday night. HOWEVER, the rates are only good until MAY 9, so if you are interested you will want to book this place ASAP. They are holding 10 rooms for us and can add more if we need them to.<\/p>\n

You can use the link below to make your reservations or you can do so on their normal website. Regardless, you may need our 3-letter group code which is “LCG” (go figure, right?). If you use the link, the code might be built in.<\/p>\n

Here are the rates they are offering (as always, verify details at booking):<\/p>\n
