We are bringing in about 100 people to a conference in November. We like the idea of having them along University Drive where they can walk to places to eat, etc. Shuttle service to/from the airport and parts of campus is a plus. Any ideas? The Hilton Conference center is booked on one of the nights.

Thanks!

The Garden Inn would require driving to Restaurant Row. Maybe the Embassy Suites would have newer establishments within walking distance, although places closer to the bypass would still require a car.

The Stella itself is nice, but it is essentially in BFE, and the drive up to it is uninspiring, to say the least. And, it is isolated -- far from any other restaurants or activities.

Are you needing to use the hotel itself for the conference, or just for lodging?

You and your company have planned a 100 person conference that's less than 2 months away and you're just now inquiring about hotels? That seems odd.


What business are you in? Spontaneous speaking?

Booking a conference 2 months out means you probably won't get your first choice.

The Garden Inn has the upside that the HOT funds will not go the College Station.
When I had this problem I solved it by holding my meeting in Richardson. He had shuttle to Galleria and restaurant row in Addison. The comment at a COCS council meeting about taxing visitors at the maximum rate because there was nothing they could do about it was remembered, by me. And while they could not do anything about it, I could.

Well for that matter they can go to the Best Western near Boonville with the nice atrium.

The George or Calvary Court. New and nice spots and can walk to the restaurants in Century Square. There are currently four open, but more should be open by November.

Actually greater than 2 months away and yes, we have already secured the Stella with plenty of rooms thanks to the more constructive comments on this forum.

If you'd paid any attention on this board and to the OP's posts, you wouldn't be so unkind.

Don't take everything so seriously. He might have gotten suggestions to take the crew to 50 cent night at tthe Hall of Fame. That's a board specialty.

Sounds like one of those Kyani type ponzi schemes to me.
