We have a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Downtown Roanoke, close to lots of restaurants and shops, including the location where we will have our Friday evening welcome reception. You can book your rooms directly through the website provided here or you can call the hotel directly.

If you call, you can request a King bed room with a view facing outward if one is available. Otherwise you might get a room facing the upper level of the hotel's parking garage. Unfortunately, with the rooms we have at this rate, only King rooms have outward facing views. The Queen rooms all face inward. If you want, you can upgrade to a slightly more expensive Queen room that faces outward.

If you want to explore other options, there are other hotels or airbnbs in the area. We decided that the downtown Hampton provided the best combination of price, quality of rooms, and location, and we wanted to provide an option that could bring our guests as close together as possible for the weekend.

If you book lodging elsewhere, bear in mind that we will be arranging shuttle transportation for our guests to and from the wedding/reception that will leave from the downtown Hampton Inn & Suites.

Note: if you arrive before Friday, you can book the same rate; you just need to tell them it is for the Kennedy - Gross wedding.

Parking is $8/night. If you park, the hotel recommends going to the desk and telling them you want parking on your room ticket; they will give you a ticket you can scan as you go in and out so you don't get charged if you are in and out multiple times a day.
