Room rates are $119.00 per night plus tax ($113.00
per night for federal government employees with valid ID at check-in). Remember, this low rate is valid only until
July 3, 2017, and only for the first 75 rooms (first 30 on Monday, July 24). Make your reservation right away!
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you reserve your hotel room now, we will be able to determine if we need to open additional rooms at the group rate, and can ensure that everyone who needs
a room gets one! Please be considerate to your fellow attendees and reserve your room as soon as possible.
