Overnight Billeting Information
for
Macon, Georgia
INTRODUCTION
Schools looking to attend the Sports Network International drill competitions in Macon, Georgia as either competitors and/or spectators may need assistance acquiring overnight accommodations. Schools are welcome to acquire their own hotel rooms anywhere they choose, but we strongly recommend these fine hotels that are JROTC supporters. Schools are encouraged to contact the hotels listed below who have gladly stepped to the plate to offer blocks of rooms for the drill competition. Their rates and contact information are included.
Rooms are "space available" so book early once you are accepted to ensure rooms are still available. I highly encourage schools to go the website of each property to see what you will get for your money! Many maintain continental and/or hot breakfast and other amenities (NOTE: check the TIME the breakfast is offered). Call them directly to gain this information.

While I have no personal knowledge of what these units may be able to do for your team, I have been told by several units that ARMY National Guard Armory facilities AND AIR National Guard facilities may provided a very low cost (many times FREE!) alternative for schools looking to overnight somewhere on a tight budget. These units may be able to help, or they may know somewhere nearby (ARMY FACILITIES: Macon, Forsyth & Perry, Georgia / AIR FACILITIES: Macon & Robins, Georgia) that would be of great assistance for those looking to save money.
