Hotels near Buttonwillow?

Hey Boys,
Got my first event planned for CW13 w/ Speed District this Saturday, the 10th.

Could anyone recommend a hotel close by? FWIW, I’ll be coming from the North.

Thanks in advance!

Not a lot of options near the track. Most people stay a little ways south on Tracy Ave, where there's a Vagabond Inn or the Motel 6. I much prefer the Motel 6 to the Vagabond...but don't expect luxury 😊

Was just there this past weekend with BMWCCA at the new BW Circuit and paid like $130 for the weekend at Motel 6.

Thanks mikentosh!

I ended up booking a Best Western in Wasco. Its only a 25min drive to the track, (gives me enough time to put heat in the engine) but its in between I5 and 99. I was trying to find something off the 5, but this should be fine.

BW Wasco is still totally worth it over the ones in BW town and you'll learn about the Singclair (top tear gas) gas station with good Mexican food, that's WAY closer than going back to townn
