Guestroom

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.
Hotel
Parking
Free
Guest
Room Internet Service
Included
in room rate.
Shuttle
Service to NOAO
DoubleTree
will provide a complimentary shuttle between the hotel and NOAO the
days of the meeting. Shuttle service times will be coordinated by
NOAO/DoubleTree.
Parking
at NOAO/UA Campus
AURA
staff may park in the NOAO parking lots as space permits. Those from
areas other than Tucson will need a temporary parking permit to park
in the NOAO lots. Space in NOAO lots is on a first come, first served
basis. Alternative parking, for a fee, may be found at the University
of Arizona Second Street Parking Garage, near Mountain Avenue. This
garage is within easy walking distance of NOAO. If you qualify for
and will need a temporary parking permit, email Barbara Fraps at
fraps@noao.edu no later than 10
April 2013.

Hotel update
We're just waiting for the final booking code from the hotel, but for those who need to plan their budgets, the rate is going to be $103+tax
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Registration now open
Visit our registration form. Space is limited so act soon! Once we know how many people need a hotel room, we will try and negotiate a rate.
Friday, January 25, 2013
Registration open soon
Thanks to all the folks who have expressed interest so far. We are hoping to have a registration page up Real Soon Now.
For those who have inquired about cost: we are hoping to keep the meeting small enough to use an NOAO room. If we can do that, then there will be no registration cost (but you'll be on your own for lunches - don't worry, we are a humane organisation, coffee will be provided).
