2013 LOTSA Salmon School/Expo Weekend Lodging Info

[Tim Bromund]

For those of you planning on coming in from out of town for Pete Alex and Tom Allen's Salmon School on Saturday Feb 23 and/or the LOTSA Expo on Sunday Feb 24 (or both), We have attempted to secure some sort of Show Special Rate at the local Hotels.

Amazingly enough, none of them were willing to make any kind of real deals with us. You would think they’d be falling all over themselves to fill rooms in Lockport NY in late February, but it is what it is.

There are 3 hotels nearby: Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn and the Lockport Inn and Suites. All are available to book rooms through Travel Sites such as www.travelocity.com or www.orbitz.com. All three of the local hotels’ rates are fairly close on both of those sites ($75.00-$86.00) and all are approximately 5 minutes or so from the Venue.

Quite honestly, It looks like you’ll get a better rate going through one of those sites than dealing with the hotels directly.

Update:

The Holiday Inn came back with a better deal. Please see below:

Attention Attendees to the February 23 & 24th Fishing Expo.

LOTSA has secured 20 hotel rooms at the Holiday Inn located at 515 South Transit Rd, Lockport NY. Each room has 2 double beds at a base price of $70/night. This rate is good for Friday (2/22) and Saturday (2/23) The phone number for the Holiday Inn is 716-434-6151.

The Hotel is just north of Lockport and approximately 10 - 12 minutes from the Expo. It is centrally located near a number of local and chain restaurants.

The 20 rooms will be held until Monday, February 18th. At that time, any untaken rooms will no longer be eligible for this favorable rate. Please make your reservations early and definitely by the 18th, assuming there are still rooms remaining. When contacting the Holiday Inn let them know that you are a member of LOTSA ( Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association) and we have a contracted rate for $70/night ( not including taxes ect). If you have any problems ask to speak to the GM , Mr. David Echardt.
