Hotels This tournament is a Stay to Play Event. All teams must book their hotels through the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau. CT USSSA and the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau have worked hard with our hotel partners to provide teams with a great inventory of team-friendly and quality hotel properties all at excellent prices. Most properties include FREE breakfast FREE parking and a pool. All our hotel partners offer flexible checkout policies based on when your team leaves the tournament. Our hotel inventory has all the name brand hotels teams come to expect such as Hampton Inn Hilton Garden Inn Hyatt Sheraton Holiday Inn Courtyard Homewood Suites and Baymont Suites. Without this partnership with the hotels and your teams taking advantage of this process CT USSSA would not be able to provide a quality tournament and all the amenities that go with it such as a great opening ceremonies venue. Please be sure and book your hotel rooms through the tournament website.
