Laura, Before I registered at the Renaissance, I'd been looking at the Hilton Garden Inn, which is 2-3 blocks away and had reasonable rates. There was one other hotel nearby with good rates, but I don't remember the name. --Joel Joel Richard IT Specialist, Web Services Department Smithsonian Institution Libraries | http://www.sil.si.edu/ (202) 633-1706 | (202) 786-2861 (f) | [log in to unmask] ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Laura Smart [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 11:43 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] CODE4LIB Conference Lodging It appears that the Renaissance Seattle has no rooms available Feb 5-9 2012, using the link from the conference registration page. One can go directly to the hotel web site and make a reservation at a higher rate, however. Any recs for nearby lodging at comparable rates? Laura -- Laura J.
