Last time I checked the only rooms available are in towns close to Paducah. You'll have to drive or rent a car unless you are lucky to find a cancellation at a Paducah hotel. Thousands of quilters take over the town for a week and the town caters to the quilters. It't the town's yearly budget being made during that week so yes they love quilters! The town is very easy to drive around in, no traffic jams.
