I called around there folks and everything with fridges is booked. Make a decision and if you decide on the hollows motel it needs to be booked today or tomorrow.
 
A lot of places I have been checking on has been booked since last September. That's why I was glad to hear that the Hollows had not started taking reservations as of yet. I know last year it was full during Mayberry days and the Autumn leaves festival so I assumed I would again hear "we've been booked for over a year now".
I'll check the Hampton Inn off exit 93 as it is where the Triumph car gathering is every May. It's about 8 miles from Mount Airy and just a mike or so from this areas largest vineyard.
 
I'm going by the Hampton Inn tomorrow. Will see if I can work out a block. Plan to try to connect in their thoughts and minds with the large Triumph car gathering they have every year.
 
I have located lodging that has not yet booked up. The rooms open to the parking lot, each has a fridge and microwave, free wifi- nice rooms. I spoke with the manager and she gave a room rate of $76.95/night plus applicable taxes which is excellent considering that is for each night includIng the weekend. It is in Dobson. Right off I-77 (exit 93) and approximately 10 miles from Mount Airy. Three food joints around it with the one right beside it- Surry Diner having the absolute best Prime Rib I have ever eaten plus excellent breakfast.

The motel specifics-
The Surry Inn
2340 Zephyr Rd
Dobson, NC 27017
Phone- 336-366-3000 (Ask for JULIE EUBANKS and tell her you are with the Triumph motorcycle gathering.)
 
Thank you @UKAlumni93 for finding that.

I don't know who I spoke to on the phone at 2200 on a Friday night (web site says their hours are 0600-2300); she instantly responded when I mentioned "Triumph", with the rate you quoted.

Reservations made for the wife and me, arriving Wednesday 21 September and departing Saturday morning the 24th. Hopefully in between we'll have a chance to meet some Rocket captains, and catch at least the highlights, ideally leaving with a taste for more.
