Reservations: 10 rooms have been reserved for March
21-24. You would need to call the hotel and confirm your reservation with
your credit card by March 1. This reserved bloc of rooms will
expire on March 1. Mention that you would like one of the rooms reserved
for that date for the BYU conference sponsored by the English Department.
These ten rooms will be available to whoever reserves them first.
There may be other rooms available for that date,
and all reservations should be made as soon as possible because this hotel
is the busiest one for those dates, and they have very few openings. They
offered no local email address or fax number, so you will probably have
to directly contact the hotel.

traditional, but nice continental breakfast).
Most of their rooms are non-smoking, but they do have a few smoking
rooms.
