OTOL RailFest Hotel Listing

Created 10/12/06; Updated 10/5/08

This is a master listing for hotels in locations near rail transportation. The hotels are arranged by city, and then in some cases by the various locations within that city's area. While this listing shows hotels that participants in OTOL Rail Fests can use, it can be applied to anyone needing accommodations near rail transportation.

Participants in OTOL Rail Fests are responsible for their own transportation between their chosen hotels and the start and end points of the Fest, or wherever they may join the group or split from it during the day.

This list is arranged alphabetically by hotel name within the respective regions, and its order has no bearing on a particular property's convenience, or the writer's personal preference. It is not by any means complete, as you may find something more to your liking and budget. For those who may be driving to any major city, or locations near airports, please be aware that most of these hotels charge for parking a car, which can increase your overall cost to stay there.

Prices will not be shown since they can change frequently. Current rates can be obtained by clicking on the hotel's name or logo, which will take you right to the website for that property.

Since railfans will be the customers in these hotels, the only criteria were proximity to a train station (in most cases this is within about a 5 block walk), or a hotel connected to a train station via their complimentary shuttle service. The availability of shuttle service is not guaranteed. Please call the property to confirm that they can transport you to and from the train station.
