Be sure to say you’re with The Harp Guitar Gathering® to get our discounted rate.
$164 + taxes per night
(Includes breakfast buffet in our own event space, and free parking for 3 nights (it’s usually $25/night).
We have historically reserved a block of rooms for Friday-Sunday. It seems that our pre-Gathering party seems to be here to stay, so that may need to change going forward, we’ll see. For now, if you are arriving on Thursday, you can still get the reduced rate, just mention it at check-in.
For those of you wondering about hotel policies for the days outside of Friday-Sunday, this just in from the hotel:
-
If attendees arrive prior to the contracted room nights, the discounted parking would not be applied. Overnight parking would be $25/night. So, this would include Wednesday, Thursday & Monday.
-
If the attendee wants to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday rather than the start of the contracted room nights (Arrival on Friday, 11/13 and departure on Monday, 11/16) then they would need to book through the room block Friday- Monday and then connect with the Sales team to extend the reservation and receive the group rate for the dates that are outside of the block. They can call me (Chloe) at my direct line below or reach out to our Sales Coordinator Jordan Burns at (785)748-6918.

ANOTHER ITEM: WE DIDN’T INTEND TO GET ONLY ROOMS WITH A KING BED BUT THAT’S WHAT THE CONTRACT SHOWS. I JUST FOUND THIS OUT YESTERDAY (7/22). I MISSED IT, OTHERS DID AS WELL. I ASKED CHLOE IF WE COULD SWAP OUT SOME OF OUR KING BED ROOMS FOR TWO QUEEN BED ROOMS.
SO
- Here’s her response:
“I have swapped 5 King rooms for queen double rooms. If those get reserved and additional people have requested double rooms, we can exchange additional kings for queen double rooms!Please keep in mind, to access these double rooms, guests would have to book two separate reservations. One king standard room for Friday only, and a second reservation for Saturday and Sunday in the Queen Double room. So, the queen double rooms will only be available in the booking link when the arrival date is changed to 11/14.”
ALSO
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT OUR CUT-OFF DATE IS OCTOBER 7TH.
AFTER THAT DATE, ROOMS THAT WE’VE ARRANGED TO BE HELD FOR US NO LONGER WILL BE.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Note: We understand that this a bit more expensive than in previous years. Sorry about that. On the other hand, how many things can you think of that aren’t? This is the hotel we needed to use this time around.
