Lodging:

We have reserved a block of rooms at the TownePlace Suites Albany University Area for conference participants, at a rate of $99/night, for two nights.

Participants should book their own rooms at the following address:

Two other hotels we recommend are the Fairfield Inn and Hilton Garden Inn near the university.

Please be careful --- all these hotel chains have more than one location in the Albany area. Please do not book your rooms by mistake at the other locations, which are quite far.

Hotel tax:

Every participant's folder includes an ST-129 hotel tax exemption form. You (the participant) should put in your own name in the "Employee" field. Please fill in all the fields. This form can then be presented at the hotel's reception to get the hotel tax taken off the bill.

Parking:

On Friday, we recommend that conference participants should use university guest parking ($5.40, payable by credit card on the spot) or, even better, walk from the hotel to the conference site, which is a 10-15 minutes' walk:
