The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Look at renting a motor home and staying at the range. Traffic to the range during EOT can be frustrating and time consuming. Good luck, OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 On range is handy but you need to dry camp and tolerate the noise of generators. For camping off range I prefer Hidden Valley. The weekly EOT rate is a bargain and you get a swimming pool. For motels the Comfort Inn in Edgewood is by far the handiest. If not staying there I like the Sunset Inn in Moriarty. It is an older, one story property with outside entrances. This makes it easy to move guns to and from your room. (Never leave unsecured firearms in a vehicle in New Mexico.) There is a link on the EOT page with lodging information. The information is pretty complete. I have not experienced traffic problems at EOT but do advise avoiding Barton Road north of the ranch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 When my wife and I and a few friends went in 2016, we stayed in Albuquerque in the Candlewood Suites, I think it was about $69 per night at the time. Had a small kitchenette in the room, a laundry on site, plus close to lots of restaurants. There is the added bonus that you are about 1500' lower in altitude so those who don't acclimate well to the altitude of the range can recharge a bit overnight. It was about 45 min each way, but the roads were good and the traffic was not an issue. Granted all of that was 4 years ago. We did miss a few of the social events in the evenings, but it worked well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Just booked my room at the super 8, lots of shooters stay here, free breakfast and an ice machine. That's a plus since I need to ice my knees before and after shooting. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 We go with friends and rent a house. AirBnB or VRBO are just two of may vacation home rental sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I have stayed numerous times at Holiday Inn off Eubanks. Two nice places to eat in easy walking distance, Sadie's and The Owl Cafe. A number of shooters have stayed there when I was there. I believe there is a Best Western in Moriarty that a number of shooters use also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake Slim Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Don't make the mistake I did and stay on the west end of Albuquerque (visiting friends). The drive to and from the match in commute traffic was over an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Personally, if you have a way to stay on range, stay on range. Many private rentals of RVs... And about the same cost. Dry camping, but water/sewer trucks available as needed. Generators go off at 10:30pm. Moriarty has plenty of hotels...several B&Bs in the East Mountains.
