by Betty Burke <betty＠nanog.org> 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Dear NANOG Community, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am happy to share some wonderful news regarding hotel accommodations for our NANOG 54 meeting in San Diego. The hotel has been undergoing renovations and recently completed remodeling of all its guest rooms and meeting space. The last phase of the hotel remodel will include the main lobby, which they plan to complete before our meeting. The Board has been working closely with the hotel to ensure the remodel will have no effect on NANOG 54, scheduled for February 5 - 8, 2012. As a result of our conversations, the hotel has agreed to reduce the individual guest room rate from $199 +tax/ night to $169 + tax/night. For reservations already made, the hotel will make an adjustment to your daily rate, reflecting the new NANOG 54 rate. In addition, if you make your reservation by January 4th, 2012, you will be entered into a drawing to win 10,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points! For your reference, below please find a copy of the original letter from the hotel. We look forward to seeing you all in San Diego! Sincerely, Betty Burke, Executive Director Greetings from San Diego! We are looking forward to welcoming you to America’s Finest City for the NANOG Annual Meeting in February 2012. Over the last year, The Westin Gaslamp Quarter has completed a refresh of our guest rooms, meeting space and WestinWORKOUT®, and we are in the final phase of our lobby renovation. To celebrate and to help manage your travel expense, we are happy to offer a discounted conference rate of $169 plus tax (originally $199!) For any reservations that have already been made, we will reduce your confirmed rate for you. Early Bird Special: If you make your reservation by January 4, 2012, you will be entered into a drawing to win 10,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points! Be well, Keri Robinson General Manager
