The rates they have held for me are higher than I expected, but they might be cheaper than what it would cost to book in July. However, they may try to convince you that there are other perks in these rooms to justify the higher prices. We didn't negotiate anything special, so please feel free to book at a cheaper rate. If you do so, It is in your best interest to not give our names.

I went to some discount sites and found some deals. I don't know how long they will be valid. Prices quoted do not include the $15-$20 tax that will be tacked on. I've included 3 more options that I found to be a good deal. The Best Western Normandy Inn is cheap and looks decent online, but I have never stayed there personally. The Embasy Suites are a nice chain, about the same level as the Courtyard, but it is farther away. The Millenium is supposed to be a really nice hotel. It's the farthest away, but it might be worth checking out at the prices available.

Google Maps can map where the Mill City Museum is located. Using this map, you can see how far any of the hotels are from the wedding site. FYI: Cabs are usually available downtown and would cost approx $5-$10 to get to a hotel within downtown from the Mill City Museum. Please pass this on to anyone who asks. I'll keep you updated if we change any room-blocking information.
