BAckground: DD is on 10u travel team that just formed last fall (HC has no kids, has another 19u team she coaches). Many of the girls except DD played together previously in rec or other travel, some go to school together (there is no travel teams that cover our rec area / schools).
Memorial day tournament is about 2 hours away, it will be 3 days (SAt - Mon). HC reserved a block of rooms at hotel in area (tourney has several sites, no way to know which site until too late to book hotels, but all within about 20-30 min). However, seemed a little pricey, DW asks me to check out alternatives (HC made clear was not mandatory to stay in the team hotel, just an option). When I checked, reviews for this particular hotel not good (cleanliness mostly, lack on manager on duty for entire weekend).
Dilemma DW and I face is do we suck it up, bring our own sheets and Chlorox wipes, so DD can be around rest of team, or do we book alternative in the area (there are several alternatives).
Opinions?
