Accommodations
The conference hotel is the DoubleTree by Hilton, located adjacent to the Convention Center. The DoubleTree Hotel is a 10-minute walk from the beach and runs a complimentary shuttle to the beach as well. The hotel features an indoor pool, free parking, and a restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating. Although late June is prime season at the beach, SPR has reserved a block of rooms at the DoubleTree at prices that will be difficult to beat anywhere in the area. Room rates are US $149. + tax for 1 to 4 persons. The DoubleTree is also offering a reduced rate of $5 per day if you want internet access in your room.
SPR will receive a discount on Convention Center room rentals based on the number of rooms we reserve at the DoubleTree Hotel. Participants are strongly encouraged to reserve rooms early as the number of rooms available at our reduced price is limited. The reduced price will be available only until May 15th.
