FIRST LEGO League:

Local Hotels:
Please click here for a listing of hotels in the area that may be able to accomodate your team. FIRST is no longer offering hotel reservation services for FRC Regional Events. We would like to provide FIRST team members some recommendations of the best way to place hotel reservations. Google and the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) can be great resources. We find that hotels that are members of their local CVBs tend to be more reputable properties.
