When I watched it rain during midget week instead of being at Gas City, I was in Marion. It is a little larger town and had more motel and food options. Like the other poster, I have no idea about pets. Looked like a brand new Holiday Inn Express just opened in Marion. I stayed at a Comfort Inn for less than the Holiday Inn Express in Gas City.

I picked Marion because it was an easy drive between Montpellier and Gas City. I stayed there two nights for Midget week with no issues.
