My groups staying at the comfort inn and suites in manchester and we were told when we booked way back that big musicians often stay there. I learned a few months ago from the manager that RHCP and Radiohead are staying at the hotel. I think this is really crazy and am sort of hoping to parlay this into an almost famous type situation. Has anyone ever stayed at the hotel and have any stories with musicians?

I am a little surprised to learn that the big name acts (RHCP, Radiohead) might stay there. I would expect any number of the undercard to be there, but I figured the big names, with their tour buses and all, might stay in Nashville or Chatty or just stay on the bus on the way to wherever it is they go after the festival.

I hope I do. There arent really any hotels in Manchester that are great and maybe they want to check out some shows and dont want to come in from Nashville everyday. Im just going on what the manager told us and I hope its true. He told us this months after we already booked everything so I dont think he would just make that up
I've worked in hotels for seventeen years and my vote is that it's very unlikely that the bands are staying at the Comfort Inn. It's possible that there are rooms booked for the road crew but even at full service hotels the band will stay on the bus half the time. Those things are generally pretty plush.
Also, it's rare to get a rooming list from a touring group a month out. In my experience you have to badger them to even get one more than a day or two in advance.
Finally, it's extremely rare for a manager to violate the confidentiality of their guests, especially a month in advance. That's the sort of thing you lose future business and likely your job over.
So colour me skeptical but I do wish you the best of luck in your adventure.

you know that helicopter that leaves bonnaroo like 200 times a day... the super headliners get taken where they need to go in that, and its not the comfort inn.
