Important notes to get the best hotel booking experience:

  • If Wednesday is full, please book the rest of your stay, we will work with the hotel to get more Wed room nights.
  • Please be sure to select the correct week in the booking portal
  • If you are on mobile, the arrow to switch to September (to get Sunday) is very small, Sunday check-out is available

More information will be made available as details are finalized.
