Marathon Race........may 15-17
Just an f.y.i.........
I am being asked about accomodations for Marathon.
There are no large hotel chains in Marathon and rooms are at a premium and booking fast for this years race.
Do some research - call and try to wheel and deal early.
Newer UPPER class, VERY nice condo types are Tranquility Bay and Coral Lagoon and a lot of choices from standard rooms to condos at Hawks Cay. There are some 2 to 3 star (my opinion) motels left and maybe the Chamber of Commerce can help. Also try Key Colony Beach motels and condos.
PD

I was just told that we were asked to take Holiday Inn off our website , it will not be available .......so I guess that answers that.
Sombrero isn't the worst. I've heard mixed reviews.

Exactly......
I will try to get you some more names.
Or get together with a couple of people and consider a rental....there are many rental homes in Marathon and you could call Coldwell Banker or Exit Realty and see what the deals are.

Banana Bay Resort & Marina is also a decent option. I haven't been there in a few years but it was pretty nice last time I was there.
