So my lovely and ever-so-understanding girlfriend has suggested that we take a hotel room on the Saturday night rather than me attempting to get a decent night sleep in a tent. We've found 3 hotels in Nanton: - Auditorium Hotel - Ranchland Inn - Double D Motel
Any clues as to which would be the better bet? Any insider info?
I was through Nanton today. My observsations are purely from the look outside. The Double D was an old strip hotel very weathered and peeling. The Auditorium was an original hotel from the early days of Nanton but the outside looked redone so maybe the rooms have been updated??? The Ranchland was the typical 70's two story strip hotel. It looked old but not weathered. I hope that helps. :)
Why would you want to miss out on the camping experience with the other 1700 people? It is part of the whole experience and Nanton is way before the end of the first day. Part of the ride is riding the second day with no sleep. That's the challenge!!!
LOL, this is going to be enough of a challenge without trying to do it without sleep. Thanks for the input everyone. Turnsout the Auditorium only has 4 rooms, and if they have a band in the bar that night, then the band gets the rooms.
Judging only based on Google Street View, and brief telephone conversations with the hotels, we've booked with the Ranchlands.
