* '''Rate:''' The rate is slightly different on the 28th ($76), 29th, and 30th ($67). With the 15% tax is ends up "about" $88. These are the instructions I got from LaQuinta to help you make the reservations:
  * '''To get rooms and rate''', call LaQuinta Central Reservation Center at 1-866-527-1498 and identify yourself as members of the CCC party, Reservation Bloc confirmation number 0937GRFWOK. For your convenience, all final details pertaining to the group should be coordinated directly with the above hotel.
    * '''Reservation Deadline:''' 10/7/2009 (Please advise members of your party that all requests for reservations within the bloc should be prior to 10/7/2009 in order to ensure we are able to accommodate them at the rate that was originally quoted. On 10/7/2009 any rooms in your bloc, which remain unfilled will be released for sale to the general public.)
    * The rate includes continental breakfast and free internet access.
  * The hotel is across the street from IBM. An easy 5 minute walk. I will create a map when we are closer to the dates in question. Given that, it is likely that participants will not need to rent cars -see point below for Airport/Hotel transit.
