$85.00 per standard double or king - single or double occupancy room. Be sure to specify which one you want. Please state that you are reserving your standard single or double room for the Sci Fi Summer Convention event, and check that the room rate is $69.00 per night.

King Exec Rooms are $79.00 per day and are in limited supply and availabiliy, but you can request one, just contact us if you want one, so we can check availability and arrangements for that type of room, or, contact the sales office during business hours to inquire about it.

They also have adjoining hotel rooms, but also in limited supply, so if you want 2 of those, be sure to ask, and soon.
For purchase of hotel rooms, the hotel accepts all major credit cards to include Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex. The hotel also accepts cash and travellers checks (with valid I.D.), but Not personal checks or money orders.

An important note about purchase with cash: you can only purchase with cash on the day that you want the room, not in advance, and there is a $50 security/service deposit as well as the base cost of the room.

OTHER IMPORTANT ROOM NOTES:

If you call the hotel at the number listed above to get your room, it is very important that you mention SCI FI SUMMER CON to get the special low con sleeping room rate.
Many patrons have club memberships of various types, that also give discounts on hotel sleeping rooms, such as AAA. If you use one of those deals for getting a sleeping room, that will be honored, but please also make sure to advise us that you have done so, so your stay will be accounted also to SFSC!
If you wish to purchase adjoining rooms, please advise the hotel reservations desk when you reserve your rooms, so that they can place you in the appropriate location of the con room block.

Internet access, according to the hotel, both wired and wireless, unfortunately aren't complimentary with a rented sleeping room during the convention, with the 2010 hotel. Unless otherwise stated, there will be a charge for wireless internet both in sleeping rooms and common / conference areas.

If you call to reserve a room during the weekend, you must call the national reservation line, as no local reservation rep is normally on duty during the weekend. The hotel front desk will re-direct you, so you can call the number listed above.
And again, please mention that you want the room for SCI FI SUMMER CON, then give the date(s) that you want the room.

Rooms desired with balcony - If you want a room with a balcony (they have some, both standards and execs), please make that request when you reserve the room. It is not guaranteed, but the hotel will likely honor if at possible.

Reservations can be cancelled up to the day before the convention, if something comes up that keeps you from attending.

ROOM RESERVATION CUT-OFF DATE: 4 weeks prior to the convention, so you must reserve a room by mid-May. After that, room rates could increase as much as $20.00 per night, so it is definitely better to reserve early!

OTHER FEATURES: There is a free-use for patron business center, gym, and pool, for the convenience of patrons that have a hotel room during the show.

OTHER ITEMS: The hotel requests that no outside food (Wendy's, for example), be brought into the function rooms of the hotel.
