HOTEL
ACCOMMODATIONS - ALL
USSSA TOURNAMENTS IN CT ARE NOW "STAY TO PLAY"
All
USSSA Tournaments in CT are now "Stay to
Play" in Partnership with the CT Sports and Convention Bureau. All
teams needing hotels must book their hotels through the Connecticut
Convention & Sports Bureau website they made especially for our
tournaments. The 2017 hotel inventory will be posted by
Nov. 1 2016.
- We have
partnered with the State of CT last season for hotel booking management
and teams have loved it. More than 70% of teams used the system.
- We have agreed
with our hotel partners to make ALL
OF OUR TOURNAMENTS TO "STAY TO PLAY" as this allows them to
block out sufficient rooms and guarantee the lowest rates.
- Our hotels are
contractually obligated to
give you the same great rates they offer direct or online.
- All teams
needing hotels must book their
hotels through the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau website
they made especially for our tournaments. 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 Marriott
Comfort Inn and more. There are no exceptions to this policy. Local
teams are not obligated to use a hotel. But teams that are staying in
hotels must use the USSSA system to book their room blocks. If a hotel
you want to use is not on our list contact us and we will do our best
to work with them to be added to our system. However if the hotel does
not wish to participate you will need to pick a participating hotel. Without this
partnership with the hotels and 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 without significant increases in
tournament fees.
