For hotels/motels/ inns, I try to get them that are owned by families! They may be small, but some that have donated to me are very cute! And who needs a fancy hotel when you have other things to put with it (activities). You're not in the hotel except to sleep!! But key in hotels, research them, then contact! Good luck!
Since most companies want 90 days for a request, and our event is middle of March, when do I send the requests? I assume most places start fresh the beginning of a new year, but that would not be 90 days. No idea what to do.
