It looks like we're going to be spending a few days at a state Babe Ruth basebll tournament in Frontenac/Pittsburg next weekend. Does anyone have any experience with motels/inns in the area? We're looking primarily at Pittsburg, Ft. Scott and Joplin/Carthage.

I couldn't find a place in Pittsburg that wasn't already booked. I ended up jumping on the Heritage Inn in Ft. Scott, since I could book the full range of dates, cancel at any time (no fees) and they'd only charge me for the nights we stayed. Looks like it's a former Microtel, but should serve our needs. Out in that area of the state I can't be too picky for $74/night. Thanks for the input!

I would have recommended Lamplighter as well. I am in Pitt once a year for a tech conference and have stayed at the Comfort Inn (very nice but pricier), the Regency Inn (nothing fancy but usually the cheapest), and the Holiday Lodge (locally owned place, clean, reasonable rates). As for dining, I recommend Harry's Cafe for breakfast, the Mall Deli for lunch, and Jim's Steak House for dinner. You can support Wichita-born Freddy's for frozen custard for a sweet treat. All are on Broadway, the main north-south drag through town.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I should have called the Lamplighter to check, but when I found out the Heritage would only charge us for the days we actually stayed, even if we leave early, I jumped on it. I may still call just to see.
I heard there are a lot of good chicken places in the area, so we'll definitely have to check one or two out, depending on the game schedule.

I'm putting together my list of must-places to eat. Chicken Mary's is a definite (they won some Food Network contest a couple years ago?). Barto's is only two blocks south from where we're playing ball. Nu Grille in Ft Scott sounds like a good 'ol American diner to try. Thanks for the suggestions!

The one I attend is the annual Technology and the Classroom conference, centered on computers and digital tech in education. There is another, called the Four State Tech Conference, that focuses on tech education, which would have been formerly known as industrial arts.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss
