Hampton Inn Ellenton / Bradenton

11 minutes from the venue. Adjacent to the world-renowned Ellenton Premium Outlets. Here you can find outlets of the finest brands around including Nike, Coach, Lacoste, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, a Hershey's Ice Cream store, and possibly the world's last OshKosh B'gosh. Wander next door to the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex where you might catch a glimpse of the 6 people in Florida who know how to ice skate.

Hotel

Courtyard Marriott Bradenton

20 minutes from the venue. Right next to the delightful Riverwalk that mosies along with the manatee river and passes the marina, an outdoor amphitheater, volleyball nets, and a skatepark. If you're lucky, you might see some kid eat it off the halfpipe.

Hotel

Hampton Inn & Suites Bradenton Downtown Historic District

20 minutes from the venue. One block from Main Street. A few enchanting pubs that lure the best and brightest who here find respite away from their rigorous associate degree studies at the prestigious State College of Florida. Only a few blocks from Village of the Arts. This artistic mecca hosts the world's finest collection of chicken art from the legendary Mr. Eddie.

Hotel

Homewood Suites Sarasota / Lakewood Ranch

22 minutes from the venue. Located so close to the University Town Center mall that you may catch a glimpse of Santa in the early morning making his way in for the morning shift of taking photos with screaming children and pooping dogs. You'll find yourself surrounded by a pretty incredible amount of restaurants, and more importantly, a Target. This isn't just any Target, either. This is some sort of Super Target. I'm not joking. Do yourself a favor and go.
