Hotel Information

Limited hotel rooms can be reserved at the state per diem rate. Hotel rooms at the Hilton will go fast. Once the block is full (and we will let you know) rooms can be reserved at their regular summer rate. There are two overflow hotels: AC and Indigo Hotels with limited rooms for per diem rate.  Again, once those are full that's it; folks will be on their own to pay anything above the per diem rate.  https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates
