If you have registered, and are ready to make hotel reservations, we have arranged a special rate with a newly constructed Texan Inns & Suites in our area. The phone is 979-266-7774. Ask for the "Surfside Beach Marathon" rate of $60 for a King room or $75 for a twin double or King suite room. They are conveniently located on highway 332 in Clute/Lake Jackson.
