2009 Louisville Accommodations - Room with a Kitchen

TriBlue86 · March 14, 2009, 4:22pm

Hi all, I gave up on the search for a house for rent as there was nothing economical to note but was wondering if anyone has reserved a room with a kitchen in the area. I will be arriving on Thursday and staying until Monday and don’t really want to/won’t be able to handle eating out for 4 days before the race. I found an ExtendedStay America which has one but is 7 miles away from Transition.

As I’ve never done an Ironman I’m curious what logistical problems I could run into if any being 7 miles away (arriving in the am, leaving after the race, etc). What is the furthest I should be looking for a hotel from the general transition finish area?

bookmarked.

i currently have a reservation in the hotel thats hosting, but a number of us are driving together and we may be able to get more bang for the buck with a home rental.

the derby rental rates are exorbitant, but i have an email out to one of the management companies about aug 30 rentals. will post here if i get any updated info from them.

dont forget about craigslist which has a fairly active board for louisville as well.
