HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
This year our conference is located at the Courtyard Boston Tremont by Marriott. However, the Tremont Hotel is now completely full! If you didn’t get a room reservation early on, we now have a "back up" hotel for you. The Hampton Inn & Suites has reserved a limited number of rooms, which they will hold until Wednesday, April 5. Reservations after that date will be based on availability. These rooms are at a slightly higher rate ($149) but there are also some amenities that help to balance the higher rate. These include:
- Complimentary Airport Shuttle and shuttle service to the Tremont
- Free high speed internet
- Complimentary breakfast
- Free local calls
- Reduced parking fee of $10.00
Hampton Inn & Suites – Boston Crosstown Center is a relatively new property, located at 811 Massachusetts Avenue. For reservations, call 617-445-6400. Their fax is 617-445-6411.
