There are many other motel/hotel/air bnb options in Somerset, Hudson, Coldwater and Jackson, that are roughly 20-30 minutes from the show. There are also several B&B options near the show location that you can find through Google. We always recommend using something like the hotels dot com app to bring up all options and cheapest rates.
