The ASRC Board has negotiated discounted hotel rates for two hotels in the area. 

 

SpringHill Suites is located next to the Orange Beach Event Center at The Wharf.  We have negotiated rates for $149/night + taxes.  However, due to competing events and spring break, we were only able to offer this rate for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights.  There is some limited availability on Sunday and Thursday as well.
