Want to go next year, any advice?

[eagles725]

My buddies and I want to make the trip to the derby next year. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on the best places & where to stay. Not looking for a luxurious hotel (Best Western, Holiday Inn types will do fine also. ) I was planning on calling to reserve a room this week for next year, if that is possible. Any advice for this noob would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
