My director and I are the only ones going now. We have a conference room reserved, but don't want to spend $200+ a night for just the two of us. Does anyone have the name of a non-conference hotel they are using (that is within walking to the conference hotels so we have travel to and from the workshops) ?

option 2: If one or two others are looking for a room, we wanted 4 to our room to keep cost down.
 
The hotels not associated w/PC are more. I checked into them 1st.
 
I have two spots open in my room at the Sheraton. Let me know if you want the details... I am not sure what the cancellation policy is if one of us were to cancel our room, though

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some tips for finding a non-conference hotel near the conference venue?

To find a non-conference hotel near the venue, consider using hotel booking websites that allow you to filter by distance. Look for hotels that are not officially affiliated with the conference, as they may offer lower rates. Additionally, check for local motels or smaller inns that might not be listed on major booking sites. Reading reviews can also help ensure you choose a comfortable place.

How can I ensure the hotel can accommodate 2-4 guests?

When searching for a hotel, use filters for room capacity on booking sites. Look for options like suites or rooms with multiple beds. It's also a good idea to call the hotel directly to confirm their policies on occupancy and inquire about any additional fees for extra guests.

Are there any budget-friendly hotel options near conference venues?

Yes, budget-friendly options often include motels, hostels, or budget hotel chains. You can also check for discounts through membership programs like AAA or AARP. Booking in advance or during off-peak times can also help you secure lower rates.

What amenities should I look for in a hotel for a conference stay?

When choosing a hotel for a conference stay, consider amenities such as free Wi-Fi, breakfast options, and shuttle services to the venue. A business center and meeting rooms can also be beneficial if you need to prepare for presentations or meetings.

How far in advance should I book a hotel for a conference?

It's advisable to book your hotel at least 2-3 months in advance, especially if the conference is popular or during peak travel seasons. This allows you to secure better rates and availability, ensuring a comfortable stay close to the venue.
