[OSGeo-Discuss] Book your FOSS4G hotel rooms quickly!
Stop press! We're running out of on-site hotel rooms for FOSS4G. Accommodation in halls is still available, but if you want a hotel room booked through the conference you need to do this by Friday July 12th. After that time, you may need to book your own room. Go to the website link at http://2013.foss4g.org/accommodation/ to book.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Book your FOSS4G hotel rooms quickly!
Hi Daniel, There's a link from the accommodation page on the website to hotels in Nottingham if you want to book your own- here it is: http://www.experiencenottinghamshire.com/stay For what it's worth, once you include transport from the centre of Nottingham, and parking, then the hotel cost is not so bad- but there are also student rooms (halls) on site at around 50 per night, all is linked from http://2013.foss4g.org/accommodation/. We're only running out of the Orchard Hotel accommodation- not the student halls. Most of the entertainment is on site, so we'd thoroughly recommend staying on campus if you can. Hope that helps Jo On Fri, Jul 5, 2013 at 4:03 PM, Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.comwrote: Hi Jo, and FOSS4G LOC, The 140GBP/night rooms aren't exactly cheap. Do you (or other locals) have recommendations for some good and cheaper hotels within walking or bus distance of the conference venue, and also of the social life (pubs, restaurants, etc.)? I think it is important for a FOSS4G to recommend a few hotels of varying price range that are within walking distance of each other, so that attendees can pick what fits best their needs and budget, and still be located close to each other (not spread over the whole city) for the social part of the event at the end of each day (a key part of FOSS4G).

I've stayed in them before and they are clean and functional. Often don't spend too much time there with everything else going on at a conference. Good value in my opinion, especially when with Breakfast On 5 July 2013 16:19, Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.com wrote: Sounds like the Uniersity rooms are the best option then.
