Re: Hotel Reservations



I have just returned from the Rare Books and Manuscripts section
preconference in San Francisco to find Peter Kurilecz's note on  the hotel
prices for the SAA meeting in Washington.  The note reminded me once again
how fortunate it is that Debbie Nolan and Susan Fox arrange the SAA meetings.

Kurilecz gave the following as the Washington SAA hotel prices (with sales
tax included):

Single $143.13
Double $188.93
Single Towers $188.93
Double Towers $234.73

In comparison, look at the RBMS prices for their conference hotel (with
SF's 14% tax included):

$215.46 single
$226.86 double
$235.98-272.46 single upgraded room
$259.92-296.40 double upgraded room

While the program at the RBMS meeting was excellent, I am not sure that it
was $70/night better than the SAA meeting.  Even the single rate at the
Spring MARAC meeting in Philadelphia was higher than the single rate for
the upcoming SAA conference.

The fact that Debbie and Susan could secure these rates in a major capitol
city during the high tourist season is incredible.  We SAA members are very
lucky to have such talented meeting planners working on our behalf!
