The convention center is on the main drag that goes south to Montrose/Delta from I-70 right at the tight turn in DOwntown GJ. THe hotel next door to the convention center gives discount rates but is still expensive IMO. The Super 8 at the airport exit is cheap and gives discount rates to super 8 cardholders(free card) and is the exit you are thinking of(by the Harley Dealership)
I talked to Colby Olford last night and he says it going to be a full house and just about all the tables are sold so if there are any stragglers, get your tickets fast.
