Panelists for the symposium are staying at two local hotels, the Marriott Inn and Conference Center (which is located on the U. of Maryland’s campus) and the Holiday Inn — College Park (which is one mile away and has shuttle service). The Marriott is considerably nicer and offers the obvious bonus of being within walking distance; however, it is significantly more expensive ($199 a night for one queen bed; $219 for two queen beds), which is why we are also suggesting the Holiday Inn ($134.10 but if you ask for the University of Maryland rate, then it’s $89 a night). You cannot make a reservation for the Holiday Inn at the U. of MD rate online; you must call. Also, their computer lists the rate as UniversityMaryland — if you tell them not to search with the “of” I can guarantee you it will save you time and trouble. In addition to these two hotels, there are a variety of quite modest motels on Rt. 1; they do not all have shuttles and online reviews are often helpful in terms of knowing what to expect.

It’s best that you make arrangements soon as hotels in the area will book up very quickly. If you have further questions about hotels, please contact helen DeVinney: hdevinney@gmail.com
