TCG does FIVE States and 1000 miles. Mississippi River and Lake Superior Tour 2021.

I wanted to get the details about the "official" hotels out so people can plan early. I cannot stress enough that rooms need to be booked ASAP. These hotels as well as others in the area are almost booked to capacity at of the time of this post. EVERYONE will be traveling this summer if covid restrictions continue to be relaxed. Room rates are also high due to peak travel season in those areas. PANDA was able to secure SMALL discounted room blocks with hotel management. But that does not mean you can procrastinate, the blocks expire well before the arrival dates. Posted below our Official TCG Tour Hotels. If you are unable to secure a room or don't like my choices feel free to stay where you want. Red Wing has plenty of choices but you may be out of luck in Ashland. Unfortunately I think your best bet to book using the block is to call the hotels directly. BOOK NOW.

The best western one isn't a block code at all....at least per the idiot I spoke with...she was dense. Hopefully the rate goes down once they figure it out lol. Anyways, booked the rooms, requested Friday and Monday off. :fy:

Did you call the local hotel number? Maybe routed to corporate that late at night? I was told you just need to tell them you are with a group. TCG or The Chicago Garage. You can also use group #1085. Looking on my invoice it is a slightly discounted rate in Ashland. $210 before tax.

I will call the hotel today if others are having issues booking.

Just booked the last room in the Red Wing block. There are only 2 rooms left in the entire hotel for the 20th. Both are handicapable, one double queen and one double king.

I will call them and see if I can add any more to the block. If you are looking online, availability is not always true. Good news is there is 6 other hotels within walking distance to the Holiday Inn in Redwing. But the Holiday Inn is only two years old so I figured that was the best choice for TCG.

I talked to someone on the phone. Block is full, only 2 rooms left in the entire hotel for the 20th. You're welcome to try.
