Hotel
We have secured a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express, located just 3.2 miles from the Gainesville Civic Center. There are also a few other hotels and a number of motels in the vicinity with rooms at various price points, but please keep in mind that Lake Lanier is a very popular holiday weekend destination and that several weddings have already secured large blocks of rooms in the area, so book early.
