College Station has a range of hotels, but there are always events happening around campus that can complicate things, so we have reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn College Station to make it easier for everyone. Be sure to use Group Code GEM to get our special state rate (details below).
Parking on campus is usually a problem, so we will have a group member drive a van to transport everyone between campus and the hotel. This hotel is about a 5 minute drive away from campus, so it's an easy trip. Also note that the hotel provides a free shuttle for local pickup and dropoff, which can be very handy if you need a ride to/from the airport (please see the hotel web site for details).
We have reserved a block of several rooms for check-in on Saturday or Sunday (20/21 Feb) and several more for Monday night check-in (22 Feb) so there should be plenty of good options for everyone
To reserve your rooms, please go to the Hampton Inn web site and be sure to use Group Code GEM. If you prefer, you can call the hotel at 979-846-0184 or at the corporate 1-800-HAMPTON number and reserve a room under the Group Code GEM. To enter this code, look below the area where you enter your dates and click on Add Special Rate Codes. When you get that done you should see that the correct rate shows up.
All reservations have to be made on or before the group room block release date on 12 Feb 2016. You will be charged the state rate of $104/night+tax. If you need any assistance, please contact any of the organizers.
