SilkenFest 2013 Host Hotel

Baymont Inn, Battle Creek

Our host hotel, with 30 rooms available, is the Baymont Inn in Battle Creek just off I-94, not downtown. Negotiated room rates are $109 for a single King room and $120 for a double Queen room. They also have a $10 flat fee (not per pet or per day) fee for pets.

To obtain this room rate, please mention Silkenfest when you make your reservations by calling 269-979-5400. We also have 30 rooms reserved at the Travelodge down the road from the Baymont Inn. This hotel is clean and offers a more economical rate. A single room is $54.99 and a double is $59.99. When you make your reservations by calling 269-979-1828, please mention Silkenfest to get this rate.

The Baymont is within walking distance of a Cracker Barrel, Burger King and a Denny's. The Travelodge is next to a Bob Evan, Fazoli's, Wendy's and many others. Both hotels are within a 1/4 mile of each other. Both are just off the highway, easy on - easy off. Both about 20 minutes from the Premier.
