Lodging:
1. Hotels – There are numerous hotels in the Fort Hood/Killeen/Belton area. The Rally will not endorse a specific hotel, and your best bet is to do a internet search to find and make arrangements for available off-post accommodation. Attached is a partial list of hotels and phone numbers for your convenience.
