Planning trip to NCM in mid October. Any advice on lodgings and attractions? Posted this on CF and got very little response.

My wife and I are going to the NCM next month for the Z06 Fest. I'll probably have a little more info after that.
We are staying at the Baymont Inn. It's a couple of miles from the museum.
They've booked the whole place and then overflow to the Hampton Inn that shares the same parking lot. Here is a little info from the Z06Vette.com thread.

And the Baymont website.

I've booked my tour for the Bowling Green Assembly Plant also. You need to have a reservation. To do that, go here.

Here is Bowling Greens website.

As far as restaurants go, everyone seems to mention The Montana Grille. Can't help much there.
Hope this info helps. If you knew all of it already, then I just did this for nothing.

I really liked Mammoth Cave when I was there. It's only a few miles away (and always nice and cool inside!).

I also stay at the Baymont or Hampton. Make sure you book a tour of the plant like Scott said. Can't help much with places to eat, either. But, there's an Outback close to those two hotels. In fact, there are plenty of places to eat on that exit.
You'll have a good time. When you go to the NCM try to find the two bricks our club has there. Here's a picture (not very well centered )
I bought one for me and one for Robert last year but have not yet had a chance to go see them. Maybe this year.
See you Tuesday

Linda, as someone else said ealier, Montana's is a very good place to eat. It has been about 6 years since we were there but, I seem to remember that they had outstanding cornbread that they delivered to the table in a cast iron skillet. We enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it.
Still fighting my cable modem at home so, just jumping on every now an then when I get a chance from work!

I'll have to try Montana's next time I go. Hope you're up and running soon. You've got more patience than I would .....

Linda,
Thanks for noticing! But Joyce did not think I was too patient today when the vein in my temple was about to jump off the side of my head when the cable people called and said I had missed their call, but I was here.
Anyway, the supervisor from Comcast got a technician out this evening and got me back on line. Finally! I have only been down for 8 days. I need to call tomorrow and have my bill credited for the lost time!

If you have the time on the way up or on the way back, take that Vette for a ride on the Dragon!
