Monster Mopar Weekend

Okay, it's time to 'fess up. I'm SERIOUSLY considering going to the show next month :-D :-D :-D but could use some pointers. Where's the most convenient place to stay motel-wise? (Billy would freak if I'm sleeping on someone's couch LOL.) I still have a bunch of stuff to look into (car rental, workload, etc.) but I'm thinkin' about it. This show is so big -- and so close! -- and I've wanted to go for sooooooo long ... it might be time.
