Was fine for me. Wasn't the kind of place were you'd want to spend a fancy vacation but it is walking to museum and very convenient to all. Your mind won't be on what kind of bed you are sleeping on anyway it will be waiting for the seat that your butt will be attached to the next day and the smile that will be on your face.

Stay in Bowling Green
If I had it to do over again, I would stay in Bowling Green. It was nice in town .. many restaurants, more competition between hotels (cleaner, etc.)
It is only a 10 minute drive to the museum anyway.

2) $110 night??? The jacked up rate there during the Forum Cruise-In is only $89. I cant figure out why it would be $110 now. Did you mention to them that you were doing Museum Delivery? You will get a discount for that. Its a decent hotel, nothing at all to complain about. I would stay there for my NCM delivery on 2/22 but they are all booked up for some reason.

The Continental Inn is next to the plant @ $55/night. Not a four star but it is clean and has a restaurant next door. The museum is across the street. I'm staying there Sunday and Monday for my delivery on Monday. 
I had a suite at the Best Western BG for $110/night last year.

I need to find a hotel there that can hold a Ford Excursion and a 32' enclosed trailer without being too tight. I'm not the best when it comes to backing a trailer so I prefer something wide open.
I'm going to the plant next week to watch my car get built so I plan on scouting the area then to make up my mind. The Hampton and Baymont are out of the question because they would be tough to maneuver in.

The price must have gone up at the Hampton. I just paid 95-dollars including all taxes on Jan 6th.
I believe it was 85+ Tax.
Another thing to consider is they have a nice complementary breakfast there.
And it’s better then just pastry & cereal. There are many “hot” items.
You can POWER LOAD at 6:30AM and get through the entire delivery day with a big FREE breakfast.
Compare that to a breakfast at Denny’s for 10-15 bucks each.
The wireless internet in the room was nice too.
No complicated wires or software to load.
Just open up your laptop, chose the network and type in the password they give you and you’re up and running in a few minutes.

Why not drive? Doesn’t sound all that far to me.
I drove 750-miles back to PA with mine.

Thought I was the only one who can't back a trailer...

I'm really just hesitant to drive the car if the weather is nasty at all.At this point, I'm thinking its about 99.9% sure that I am trailering it. If there is a freakishly nice stretch of weather, then my plans may change. Its never a bad thing to be prepared.

We stayed at the Hampton in December for our NCM delivery. The Museum folks said to be sure to ask them at the Hampton for the NCM discount. We did, and paid, as I recall, about $89.00. So if you didn't mention the Museum, talk to Hampton again. Enjoy your delivery.
