Hotel Information

Hotel Accommodations:

Hotel rooms will cost $94.00 per night (quad occupancy), plus 17% tax (as of May 2011).  Rates are available from Wednesday through Sunday of convention week. Please note that a credit card will need to be provided for each room upon check-in to cover incidentals such as parking, long distance, etc.

Suites/Team Pads:

Marriott Suites will be available for $199 per night.

Amenities:

All rooms include iron and ironing board, in-room safe, hair dryer, coffee maker, complimentary coffee, voice mail, dual line phone, executive desk and chair and upgraded bed package.

Mini-refrigerators and roll-away beds are available at no charge on a first-come-first-served basis. Please limit the mini-refrigerators to those with medical need. Roll-away beds can only be added to rooms with one bed.

Reservations and Changes:

**Please do not call the hotel directly for reservations or changes.**

So that the hotel can accurately block your group’s rooms, you must have the total number of king and double/double rooms indicated by the January 23 registration deadline. After January 23, group leaders will be able to make changes to their group’s hotel reservations in the registration database until midnight on March 2, 2012. The information in your reservation database on March 2 will be considered your final request. Any changes, except room cancellations, made after March 2 will be accommodated if possible, but are not guaranteed. Please make every effort to have all reservations finalized by the March 2 deadline. Adding rooms after this date may not be possible. If they are able to be added, they will most likely NOT be near your group’s other rooms. Please request all rooms that you will need by March 2, 2012. Please note that any cancellations MUST be made no later than five days prior to arrival. Any no-shows or cancellations after that will be charged one night’s room and tax. Please make sure that all requested rooms are used to avoid these penalties.

All requests for changes to hotel reservations must be requested through the online registration system.

The group leader should choose a person to be the hotel room coordinator. This person should be the first to arrive and the last to leave. Your hotel room coordinator can check in and check out your group. 

Parking Information:

Self-parking will be 50% off the prevailing rate at the time of convention. As of May 2011, the overnight rate is $28. Valet parking will be at the prevailing rate ($32 per day as of May 2011).
