Hotel Information:

CFO has reserved a block of rooms at the brand new Holiday Inn Winter Haven. The block is almost certain to sell out, so reserve now! To reserve one of these rooms, contact the Holiday Inn Winter Haven at 1-863-292-2100, tell them you are with the Cardinal Flyers and put your name and credit card on one of the rooms for the dates you wish to reserve it.

The rooms are listed under Cardinal Flyers with the name Debbie Peterson. I just called them and reserved our own room, and it worked well, they had the information there and were easy to work with.

The cost is $107.10 per night plus tax. It is possible that your corporate, processional association or frequent traveler relationship might get you a lower rate, so feel free to ask. Don't expect these rooms to come up on the super discount systems like priceline.

Hotel contact information:
Holiday Inn Winter Haven

Remember, the hotel is on the other side of Winter Haven from the airport, and transportation is on your own. To help you find things here are
a map from the airport to the Holiday Inn Hotel and a map from the airport or Holiday Inn to Lakeland Sun 'n Fun.

There are many other hotels in Winter Haven, but they do fill up close to the date of the airshow. Any of the hotel finder systems on the web will be able to help you locate a wide range of options.

If the Holiday Inn does fill up, there is another Holiday Inn just down the street, and may have rooms (although in the past they were filled up with a Warbirds group.) Phone: 1-863-294-4451
