Prices listed are guides, and not guarantees. The best advice from hotels is to call, ask for sales and see what the best price is and what they might be able to do for you. If you are able to reserve a block of rooms, you will be able to negotiate an even lower price. Be sure to mention that you are tax exempt, and in some cases, it will help to mention that (if you are a public school) you would qualify for the state government rate. The sooner you are able to book, the better your rates will be.

Amenities Included Bus parking may be offered at properties where not noted.
