The hotels rates in these two places seem to be at a premium their prices are pretty high. I even saw a Super 8 (which I would never stay at) for $160 a night!! What gives? lol

As one of my grandparents used to say "I don't want to buy the place, just stay for a day or two" lol.

I was just in that area for work. Its hard to get a room now because there are so many guys out there working on the oil rigs. I think that may be why rooms are so scarce and pricy.

Oh I see eptx49 so the hotels can crank their rates because of that. Good information. Thank you.

If you decide to come up here to the land of ever-blowing wind, let me know sweetie. Be happy to offer any info I can!

Oh, and the Midland / Odessa area is absolutely packed right now. Oil and wind farms. Thankfully, it brings tons of fantastic gentelmen, but finding an apartment or hotel room right now is gonna be expensive. Well worth the trip though, I go as often as I can, but not as often as I would like.

Thank you Jade and Ashley this is good information to know beforehand for sure. Still working on it!

Are you interested in Abilene at all?

we would all love it if you came out here to Abilene!

I will be coming to Abilene as well.
