Re: Lodging for MAR Conference
Here are some suggestions. I would recommend the first two listed (Extended Stay and StudioPlus) for several reasons: they are reasonably priced; they are both new hotels just built in the last two years; they are "suite" type hotels with a kitchenette, etc (Studioplus has a pool); they are very accessible from I-95 and Rt. 29 (the road to the conference location); they are both located very near shopping and restaurants
All of these hotels can be found on www.expedia.com
by searching for "Columbia, MD"
Anyone who would like more information or assistance with this, I will be happy to help. I can be reached by email at
jesmorgan@aol.com.
I can also prepare maps and directions to these hotels and a list of nearby restaurants for the conference. Let me know if you need anything else from me.
