SPRING CONFERENCE TRAVEL DIRECTIONS AND MOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

BFM SPRING MISSIONS CONFERENCE

Thompson Road Baptist Church, Lexington KY

Travel Directions & Motel Recommendations

You may choose to use your own travel / accommodations program or discounts...or do your own research to find a better deal. We are still recommending the Quality Inn Northwest because our attendees have used their facilities for about 15 years now with high satisfaction, and although their special event prices are a little higher this year than previously, they are still the best bargain I can find for the quality, comfort, and convenience of their facilities.
QUALITY INN NORTHWEST / 750 NEWTOWN COURT / LEXINGTON KY / 859.233.0561

Many of their rooms have been newly-remodeled and offer desirable amenities, including a continental breakfast. You can call them to get a full description.

Or, if you want to check it out online, go to www.choicehotels.com and from the home page, click on the Quality Inn icon at the top of the page, then type in Lexington KY in the Quick Search field. When you get the map with all the Lexington locations, it will be the #1 just outside the New Circle Road area.

TWO QUEEN BEDS room is $59.95.

Ask for Thompson Road Baptist Church event rates.

For directions to our church site:

You will pass the Rupp Arena / Lexington Convention Center on your left. Turn left at the next traffic light. This is Jefferson Street. Turn right in the middle of the overpass bridge onto Manchester. About one mile down Manchester, turn right on Thompson Road and come to the top of the hill.

FROM NORTH ON I-75 OR EAST / WEST ON I-64: I-75 and I-64 merge for a few miles on the north/northeast side of Lexington. Come to Exit 115 on 64/75. This is Newtown Pike (State Route 922). Turn south toward Lexington. Follow Newtown Pike until you come to Main Street. Go straight across Main Street. This short street is Cox Street. Follow Cox Street to the dead-end. Turn right on Manchester / Old Frankfort Pike. Follow Manchester about one mile. Turn right on Thompson Road and come to the top of the hill.

If you choose to stay at Quality Inn, then follow the second set of directions above and Quality Inn will be on your left just before you get to the New Circle Road interchange [1 ½-2 miles from 64/75].
