Airports


If you're leaving, on a jet plane, you have your choice of two airports:

1. The closer, regional airport is Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP). It's right on the county line in a town called Greer (pronounced "Gruhrrrr"). It's about a 25 minute drive on Interstate 85 to the hotel. Although it's small, it has all the major airlines, as well as Southwest and Allegiant. They also have all the major rental car companies if you want to rent a car for the weekend. They do not have a Super Shuttle, but you can let us know if you need a ride and we'll be glad to arrange a ride to Spartanburg for you. And of course, there are cabs.

2. Flying into Charlotte-Douglas (CLT) doesn't add on a lot of travel time, plus it can be much cheaper. It has Jet Blue, and it's the hub for US Air. The drive down to the Marriott would take about 1 hour and 11 minutes.

If you're thinking of renting a car, there is a Hertz rental desk at the Marriott. It isn't open on the weekends (or Memorial Day Monday), but it could be helpful if you want to return a car after driving from the airport, or if you want to pick one up in Spartanburg.

If you're going to be driving in, here are all the relevant addresses for your GPS:
Hotel: 299 North Church Street, Spartanburg
Indigo Hall: 190 Ezell Street, Spartanburg
Tommy & Cheri Cook's House: 219 Lottie Lane, Chesnee
