Thanks!Yeah, Selma is the closest- but maybe (just maybe) there will be an AirBNB? Try that.Just tried booking, Sleep Inn is full - Ugh! I see there is nothing else to speak of in Marion, any recommendations for other hotels? I guess next closest is Selma?
Also, keep trying the Sleep Inn- after my horrible experience at the other place, they were able to wheedle me in- they made a client for life in me with the way they helped me. Good luck!

How is Selma to stay in? It appears they have 5 hotels. Living in very populated South Florida, it’s hard to fathom a town only having a few hotels.
We are staying in Tuscaloosa. It's about 15 minutes further then Selma. It's a college town and a lot bigger then Selma.How is Selma to stay in? It appears they have 5 hotels. Living in very populated South Florida, it’s hard to fathom a town only having a few hotels.

I will check into it. I have a Facebook friend that lives near Selma and he didn’t have too many nice things to say about it.
So sad about Selma. Thought that might be an ok place to stay. My concern is where to take my son when I go for parents weekend. Tracking the Mexican place in Marion, thanks peppypea, any other suggestions? I know he won't be keen on trekking 30+ min away to go somewhere, although maybe he will have gained a whole new appreciation for mom by then

If you do not want to drive far -I suggest trying alternatives like Airbnb - there are quite a few Marion residences who rent out their homes during special weekends at MMI - for Parents Weekend - staying in Tuscaloosa could be a very nice break for your cadet - MMI is in a small rural town - my son attended West Point and the little town outside of the USMA gates was so similar to Marion (a bit more choices to eat) at least we were used to it -
Thanks!

Have you found a place to stay yet? There are great places on Airbnb - many of the local residents rent their homes during busy MMI week-ends on the Airbnb site - Greensboro (about a 30 minute easy easy drive) has beautiful places on Airbnb - and Selma has a brand new suite of Lofts right on Selma's historic riverfront. If you would like the links to these places just send me a private message - thanks!Just tried booking, Sleep Inn is full - Ugh!
