Hotel Info
The hotels we have listed are all considered to be decent, clean places to stay. There are other accommodations in Ridgecrest, which also may be acceptable - if any of our "local" classmates feel a nice facility has been unfairly omitted, let us know by using the "Contact Us" link. We strongly encourage you to MAKE RESERVATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as (believe it or not) occupancy can be a problem with military exercises, TV and commercial shoots and tourist activities.
