For those people attending from out of town that would like to spend Friday night, Saturday night or both nights in Ankeny, we have negotiated a special rate with a local motel in Ankeny.

The Best Western Metro North located at 133 S.E. Delaware Avenue in Ankeny priced a room with one king sized bed or two queen sized beds to us for the bargain basement price of $49.00 per night (plus applicable taxes) for up to four people per room. To receive this rate, simply call the motel at (515) 964-1717 and tell them that you want the Hawkeye Camaro-Fest 2004 special rate. If any clerk on the telephone seems unaware of this special rate, tell him/her to talk to the General Manager of the motel, Wes Greve to verify the rate.

The usual rate charged for these rooms are $63.00 (for one person) or $73.00 for two to four people per room.

This motel is a nice motel with a very large parking lot (for those of you pulling a trailer with your car either on it or inside it) just one block off of the interstate (I-35). They have their own restaurant and bar in the motel and several other restaurants are within a block of the motel including Village Inn, Appleby's, Arby's and Burger King.
