Lodging and Travel

Lodging

There are a number of great lodging options we have secured at the Keystone Resort. Unlike other conference locations on university campuses, we depend upon booking a certain number of room-nights to pay for our use of the conference center; therefore, it is imperative that conference attendees stay at the resort. In addition, there are many benefits of staying on-site, including free inter-resort transportation, free parking, Wi-Fi, and Adventure Passport (a recreational pass allowing complementary and discounted access), and excellent rates and service.

Lodging options

Room description	Price/night*	Amenities
Slope-side studios	$110	One bedroom, full bathroom, living room with sofa pull out and a partial kitchen. Sleeps 2 comfortably, 4 maximum. 10 min. shuttle ride to the conference center, or a 1.25 mile walk.
Inn at Keystone	$99	King or two queen beds, dorm-sized refrigerator. 4 maximum. 5 min. shuttle ride to the conference center, or a 1 mi. walk.

In addition, there is an assortment of multi-room condominiums available.

To Make a Reservation

Conference participants must reference the below code in order to secure the rates we have negotiated. All reservations must be made by phone, and require one night’s deposit in the form of a credit card when the reservation is made. After a deposit is received, a confirmation will be sent. Individual cancellations within 14 days of arrival are subject to forfeiture of full deposit amount. Individual cancellations outside of 14 days of arrival will result in a refund of the deposit less a $30 processing fee.

Reservations must be made before October 7, 2010. Reservations made after that point are on a first-come first-served basis, meaning that Keystone will no longer hold those rooms exclusively for our group!
