Rates are $60 per night for 1 person in a bedroom that has 2 twin beds (yes, there will be an empty bed), or $45 per person per night for 2 people in a bedroom with 2 twin beds. Stays can be extended through Sunday morning for those who wish to enjoy the city after the conference. Please see the conference brochure for important additional details.
