Default Accommodations for Lime Rock Park

I would appreciate any recommendations for hotels close to Lime Rock Park. Everything that I see with a reasonable rate is at least 30 min to an hour away. Also need room to park a 24 foot hauler. First time there so recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Try to look in Torrington, southbury or Waterbury ct . Torrington being the closest to limerock. There is not much close to the track except for bed and breakfast.

There is nothing reasonable around Limerock. There is the Inn at Iron Masters affectionately known as The Iron Mattress. 10 minutes away flea bag motel for something like $200+ per night. Much nicer and closer to $300 per night is Interlaken Inn and about 5 minutes away. Beyond those two you're about a half hour away. I was there last weekend and stayed at a small but lovely and clean house with 5 of my buddies and it ended up being $75 per person per night. That's the best option if you have friends and drop your trailer off at the track.

Danbury is an hour south and loaded with $100 a night chains. I did the courtyard and hit the steak joint opposite in the parking lot for dinner.

I recommend that you bring a small tent and air mattress and stay in that at the track. I have done it many times. Bring a hibatchi and some steaks......and wine if you drink.............enjoy

I've stayed at the Wake Robin Inn bed & breakfast years ago, was nice and cozy but can't remember how much. Interlaken is close but fairly expensive for the accommodations and usually has a two-night minimum. Camping at the track is wonderful, if you like camping. The Appalachian trail runs in the hills above the esses, and it's beautiful and quiet at night. Also a great way to make friends.

We're staying at the Doubletree in Bristol, ct. Nice back road drive and moderate price. I used my Hilton Honors points. Lodging always a problem and with the late determination to host the Corvette Corral most were already spoken for. Staying in the Berkshires is beautiful and a sweet ride to Lime Rock.
