I am planning to go over to St. Pete/St. Pete Beach next week to scout out some hotels and check out the venue...there are scores of hotels in the area, so I'm sure we'll be able to get a place sorted out. The venue is actually in Pinellas Park, FL, which is slightly north and east of the "beach" area. As mD mentioned, a few of the places have three day minimums, but I have been able to get around this if a group is staying...
