How to find available hotel rooms in Gwinnett for Irma evacuees

Gwinnett County’s visitors bureau is making it easier for Hurricane Irma evacuees to find hotel rooms and pet-boarding services in the area.

Explore Gwinnett, the bureau’s marketing arm, has added tools to find where rooms still may be available. There is a spreadsheet that Explore Gwinnett is continually updating, noting which hotels are sold out, which have few vacant rooms and which have wider availability. The spreadsheet also has addresses, contact information and notes regarding pet friendliness.

The site has links to pet-boarding listings on Yelp and Airbnb listings in the county.

Find the spreadsheet at ExploreGwinnett.org.
