Introduction:

The following is a list of motels and restaurants near the event. I have done my best to rate them for you, but keep in mind that things may have changed since my last visit. I have not checked the rates on the hotels recently.

For additional area information visit the State of Maine's Tourism Website at http://www.visitmaine.com/

HOTELS / MOTELS:

Super 8 Motel
Route 109, Sanford, Maine
207-324-8823
Rates -- Room with queen or king bed -- $79.09/nt.
Room with 2 double beds -- $85.39/nt.

This motel is across almost across the street from the airport and is undoubtedly the closest motel. This is probably where most of the pilots will stay. Tell the manager that you are requesting a room for the Maine Jet Rally.

Oakwood Inn
www.oakwood-inn.com
Route 109, Sanford, Maine
207-324-2160
Rates -- $60 - 109

This Inn/Motel is located about 5 minutes west of the airport on Route 109. According to several local residents, this is the nicest hotel in Sanford.

Sanford Inn
www.sanfordinn.com/
Route 109, Sanford, Maine
207-324-4662
Rates -- $65 (1 queen bed) to $89 (2 queen beds).
Suites are available with kitchenettes for $95

This looked like your standard motor inn, much like the Biddeford Inn that many of you have stayed at in the past. Ask for the owners, Manu and Vibha Patel
