Rooms are $29 per room per night, and there is a one-time surcharge of $13 for linens, towels, blankets and pillows (a service fee will be added). Each room has two beds, so you may share with another participant—only one person needs to reserve the room, but this must be clearly indicated on the checkout form. Please note: charges cannot be split on this registration site—roommates should settle costs between themselves. You pay for your stay at Granville Towers up front, at the same time as your conference registration fees. The calculation of your room charges will be done automatically based on the number of nights you input on the registration site. If you wish to stay at Granville Towers, please register by May 1 at the latest.
