any ideas for last minute hotels or motels to be found?

Greetings all. Was checking to see if anybody may know of a reasonable place to stay for a night? We will not be getting to the area till Sat. evening to enjoy the Faire all day Sun. and will be heading on rt. 90 west and can't remember the exit. But have the directions written down and in the car. Hoping that somebody can name a maybe not booked full place. Many thanks. Godke

Some will call it the  "roach motel" but the hojos at the exit to the faire a has done us well. 
Howard Johnson Express Inn - Geneva

I-90 at Exit 218 and Route 534
Geneva, OH 44041 US

WE used to stay at the comfort inn up an exit, but for the extra  $$ after the first year, it wasn't any better than the hojo.    Added bonus, park the car and walk to the chop house for the meet and greet.   If that is too low rent for you, then there is both the comfort in and a hampton Inn at the next exit.   Last I checked, none of the three were sold out, but everyone was requiring a 2 nite gtd.

I'm not familiar with the area but just wanted to say that I usually do well finding hotels using kayak.com

If you aren't concerned with fancy amenities, just clean rooms and friendly service...the hubby and I have stayed the past two years at the Lake Erie Motel right along the strip/boardwalk at Geneva on the Lake. Not far from fairegrounds...and, walking distance from plenty of places to hang out after the faire. It's a work in progress-the couple bought it a few years ago and they are fixing it up as they go. Reminds me of what that area must have been like in the old days-when Geneva was the "summer place to be". They do have coffee maker and toaster in the rooms...but like I said..it's nothing fancy. That's where we will be staying on our trips out for the season. Donna and Dave, the owners, are real nice folks....tell them Bonnie sent you.

My mom and I plus the band we were with stayed here for some of the 2007 run. Not too bad for a weekend stay.

 Greetings all. Many thanks for the information. Hopefully next visit can be planned with a kind of headstart on things. Will be heading out the door soon and hope to meet some new friends tomorrow, Sunday. Godke
