Given the busy season, rooms are limited. Book early to ensure room availability. No guarantees on last minute bookings.
Attendees must do the following:
Go to the Applecore Hotels website and pick one they are interested in.
Of the five hotels, Comfort Inn Midtown is unavailable. The Hotel at Times Square (46th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) should be the most convenient.
Attendees must write to Mohua Basu <mohua@applecorehotels.com> with SAJA Convention 2009 in the subject line.
She will then confirm with the attendee.
