Hotel information

More info

Some of us will be staying at the Seaside Resort, 4770 El Estero Blvd., Ft. Myers Beach, FL 33931. 888-226-6555. Ask for Perry or Cheryl, and say that you're with the Roy Hobbs tournament and you'll get 10% off the rates listed on the Internet. The Seaside is right on the beach, facing the Gulf. It's about a 35-60 minute drive to the fields. It has 2-br condos with full kitchens, etc. They have a website with pictures and maps. Check it out. Downside here is NO hot tub/jacuzzi.

Clyde Jones has a deal arranged at the Santa Maria Resort (http://www.santamariafl.com/), 7317 Estero Blvd, Ft. Myers Beach, FL 33931- (239) 765-6700. The Santa Maria is a bit classier place, but is across the road from the beach. Ask for Erica Renkert and say you want the special rates for Clyde Jones' and the Antiques.

In any case, make your own arrangments for lodging, either at the beach or in town. The Roy Hobbs website has lodging informtion too. If you want to combine with someone, let me know and I'll try to orchestrate. Chase this link to see where guys are staying.
