is also holding a block of rooms. Rates are $115/130 (Sgl/Dbl Rate).
Reservations
for attendee’s guestrooms are set up for each individual to call in and make reservations on their own. Please use our
toll free number 800-589-6285 and ask for “Cardfest” (Group reservation #48336). All guests will enjoy complimentary continental breakfast,
turn down service, parking, airport transportation and complimentary hors d’oeuvres in our 1st Floor
Chancellor’s Club, serving top shelf cocktails and gourmet hors d’oeuvres.
Additional amenities include a fitness center, complimentary DSL, and some rooms with DVD players. This guestroom block will be released
on March 14, 2006. Any reservations received after this date will be accepted on a space and rate available basis. Every attempt will be made to honor your group rate after the drop date. See their website for location and directions.
NOTE: The airport is blessedly small and
navigable, but far from the town. If you’re not staying at one of the two
blocked hotels you’ll need to get a taxi. If you are staying at one of
the two hotels, then there are cheaper options: For the Concourse, you can phone the Concourse to send their shuttle (the
hotel says it’s a free shuttle, no charge, officially, but tipping is traditional).
For Campus Inn, head for the north end of the baggage claim, step outside
and when you reach the taxi stand, look for the silver and blue Madison Taxi, which has a complimentary arrangement with Campus
Inn; they’ll taxi you to Campus Inn for free and the inn will pay for it.
