Thinking about attending my first Big East Tournament. The all-session ticket for $157.50 seems like a bargain. However the three hour trip (one way) from Maine makes commuting unrealistic. Looks like rooms at the Sun, if available, would be at least $250 a night. (Anybody else remember when the "8" inside the sun of the Days Inn sign meant $8 per night and Motel6 rooms really started at $6?) Any suggestions for reasonably priced accommodations somewhere near the venue? Or what does the king's ransom price come with, other than a place to sleep?
 
Mohegan rooms are very pricey, especially Saturday night. They have arrangements with other local hotels but still a bit high. You can find something more reasonable in Norwich or Mystic which are both reasonable and easy drives to the venue.

Between now and then if you go to Mohegan a few times and lose a lot of money, I mean a really lot of money, maybe they'll comp you a room :) Being serious, I have to believe there's something more reasonable than $250+ per night within reasonable driving distance. 1/3 of CT, not to mention a big chunk of RI should be in play.
 
I am booked at the Microtel which has a shuttle to the casino. As you have probably seen, all the hotels near the arena are $190-$250 and the prices won’t drop so book now.

Go to AirBNB dot com & enter Uncasville, CT (Montville) into the searchbox for the BET dates & you can stay in Rebecca's private home nearby for $60 per night.
The dates are available now w/free cancellation.

 
How about down near Mystic? Kind of off season - about 20 miles (all highway) away.
 
Booked a room at the Fairfield near the arena for $236 a night, $208 a night if you pay up front. I assumed UConn won't be in the first round, so I will be there from Friday evening until Tuesday morning after the championship game.
