Conference Hotels
We have reserved blocks of rooms at three hotels. When you call to reserve, tell them you are with the Association of Internet Researchers to get the conference rate. You will have to contact the hotels directly to reserve a room. They are:
Eldridge Hotel
http://www.eldridgehotel.com/
We have 44 of 48 Rooms
701 Massachusetts
785-749-5011/ 800-527-0909
Room Rate: $80/night
Contact: Ginger Ray
Note: This is the historic downtown hotel. It is an ideal location for shopping, eating, and strolling, but they have fewer rooms. It is about a half hour walk to campus.
These other two hotels are very close to one another. The Ramada Inn has a restaurant. The Hampton doesn't. Like all the Lawrence hotels other than the Eldridge, these are a very short drive or about a half hour walk to downtown and campus:

Local Transportation
Shuttle buses will run between the above hotels and
the Kansas Union beginning at 7:30 a.m. September 14. The hotel front desk
will have shuttle schedules. If you plan to park a car on campus during
the conference, please e-mail bproctor@ukans.edu by August 14, 2000 to
request a parking permit. It is recommended that you utilize the shuttle
buses, as the University is in session and it can be difficult to find
parking spaces at certain times. (this will be especially true on
Saturday as there is a home football game).
Currency Exchange
We recommend that you complete currency transactions
before you arrive in Lawrence.

transport to and from the airport. Shuttle reservations must be made 24
hours in advance. 1. Superior Shuttle (toll free: 888-795-3914) 2.
