ARSC has reserved additional rooms at two nearby properties, the Travelodge Silicon Valley and the Stanford Motor Inn, within two to three blocks of the Creekside Inn. You will need to call the properties directly and request the ARSC rooms. Please make your reservations prior to March 12, when the new room blocks will be released to the general public.
