HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS
CT USSSA and the Connecticut Convention
& Sports Bureau (CTCSB) 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. Our hotel inventory has all
the name brand hotels teams come to expect such as Hampton Inn Hilton
Garden Inn Holiday Inn Best Western Comfort Inn and more.
Without this partnership with the hotels and your teams taking
advantage of this process CT USSSA would not be able to provide as
high a quality tournament and all the amenities that go with it. This
tournament is not Stay to Play
however we encourage all teams to
book their hotels through the Connecticut
Convention & Sports Bureau website they made especially
for our
tournaments. If there is a hotel you want to use that does not appear
in our inventory just let us know and the CTCSB will contact them to
have them added.
