The 2003 Workshop sleeping room rate is $109.00 for a single or double king or 2 beds. The appropriate state and local taxes of 12.4% will be added. The cost of the sleeping rooms is the responsibility of the attendee. The cut-off date for sleeping rooms at the contracted rate will only be honored up to 3 March 2003. Depending upon the sold-out status at the hotel, the contracted rate may not be available after this date resulting in a higher room rate.

There will be a $50 early departure fee. Guests wishing to avoid this fee should advise the hotel at or before check-in of any change in planned length of stay. The hotel will inform all members of our group of this potential charge upon check-in.

Check-in time is 3:00 PM, with check-out at Noon. Guests arriving before 3:00 PM, will be accommodated, as rooms become available.

To guarantee your sleeping room, the hotel requires you to provide a (first or last) night’s deposit, or to be guaranteed by a major credit card. Checks and major credit cards are acceptable to establish prepayment. All credit cards used to prepay will be charged immediately.
