HOTELS
As stated previously, the weekend of the wedding is the big NASCAR Race weekend. This means that a majority of the hotels will be booked. To alleviate some of the frustration for our out-of-town guests we have blocked out 20 rooms at the Hilton Charlotte Executive Park
The rate for May 25th and 26th is $139.00/nt (normally $339.00!)
• You may reserve a room with a King size bed or 2 Queens.
• The rate extends 3 days prior-to and after those days, if you choose to stay longer
• They provide free transportation to and from the airport if you are flying in
• There is a very nice pool so bring your swimming attire
• You must reserve your room before April 25th to get the discounted rate
Rooms will go quickly so book them ASAP!
To make a reservation call 1-704-527-8000 or 1-800-HILTONS and ask for the Williams/Shurts wedding rooms.
If you have any problems whatsoever, let us know and we can make sure you have the accomodations you need from the Hilton.
