Lodging
The following room options are available for our group November 14–17, 2023:
- 12 single occupancy rooms (queen bed) reserved at a reduced cost of $249/night
- 3 double occupancy rooms reserved for a reduced cost of $249/night
- 2 suites that can host 3-5 participants each, each one at a reduced cost of $349
Each suite has private access, kitchen, and dining area, where several rooms possess either a king bed, 2 twin beds or a queen sofa bed. The accommodation in these suites could be great for a family or colleagues who want to share a common space or work together, where each room is closed for privacy. The number of participants in each suite will depend on the occupants, and extra single beds can be added on request.
Breakfast is included for all rooms, plus complimentary afternoon cheese and wine tasting. All these (1-3) are on hold for our group until October 25, the date when the rooms will be released back to the public.
To proceed with the booking email Jaime Chaves (jachaves@sfsu.edu) with the following information no later than Monday, October 23, 2023*:
- Rooming list of participants in your group and preferred room type
- Dates of lodging
- Each participant's phone number and email
We will provide rooming lists to the hotel by their October 25 deadline. Each room will need one room leader to provide a personal form of payment at check-in and request reimbursement per the instructions below.
Once Jamie Chaves has received the requested lodging information, they will communicate directly with the leads of each room (individual if single occupancy room) regarding reimbursements.
* If you do not meet the October 25 deadline, we cannot guarantee assistance with lodging accommodations or potential reimbursements.
