Guestroom (Hotel) Reservations

We have a block of guest rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tucson - Reid Park. The group rate is $103 per room per night single/double/triple/quad occupancy. The rate is subject to prevailing state tax, currently at 7.05%, city bed tax of 6% and $2.00 per room per night. The room block will be held until 25 March 2013. Reservations received after 25 March 2013 are subject to availability at the DoubleTree’s prevailing rate. You may reserve a guest room in our block one of two ways:

1. Call the DoubleTree’s national reservations at 800-222-8733. You must identify yourself as being part of our group (AURA, Astronomical Data Center Technology) to obtain our special rate.

2. Use DoubleTree’s online reservation site at workshop rate. Enter the group code DCT if it is not prefilled (it should be if you followed the workshop rate link). Our group name is “Astronomical Data Center Technology.”

Each attendee will be responsible for their room, tax and incidental charges. Payment will be accepted in the form of a major credit card or cash. Failure to cancel a guaranteed reservation 48 hours prior to the day of arrival or to occupy the room will result in a charge of one night’s room and tax applied to the credit card or forfeiture of the deposit.
