Our 2024 convention room rate for singles and doubles is $129; for triples and quads, the rate is $139. Occupancy taxes and surcharges are an additional
13.5 percent. There is no charge for children under eighteen if no extra bed is requested. Please note that the hotel is a no-smoking facility.

For 2024 convention room reservations you should call the hotel at (800) 204-7234. Ask for the “NFB Convention” block. At the time you make a reservation,
a $146 deposit is required for each room reserved. If you use a credit card, the deposit will be charged against your card immediately, just as would be
the case with a $146 check. If a reservation is canceled before Saturday, June 1, 2024, half of the deposit will be returned. Otherwise, refunds will not
be made.
