How much do motel rooms cost in the area?
Ben, Darrin, and others stayed at motels back in August. Although there were cheaper places, they stayed at Microtel in nearby Johnstown.

Here's the list that Matt Herring put together for us on my Economy Run email list this past August. All of the hotels will allow a AAA discount which would probably lower the prices around 10% off the listed rate.

* Riverside Motel (.4 miles from where we are starting the event from) - $79 + tax. Small rooms with light amenities. Good reviews on google. (518) 853-3314

* Econo Lodge (.4 from start) - $72 + tax. Good rooms...poor reviews on google. (518) 853-4511

* Microtel (5 miles from start) - $103 + tax. Good rooms and amenities. Good reviews. (518) 762-5425

* Holiday Inn (5 miles from start) - $113 + tax. Good rooms and amenities. Good reviews. (877) 863-4780
