Contact Adam (holt @ laptop.org) to arrange hotel options | Contact Adam (holt @ laptop.org) or Martin Walker (walkerma @ potsdam.edu) to arrange hotel options or university dorms. There are excellent & affordable university dorms possible (in limited numbers, over most nights!) for those who RSVP early in June. The prices will be $25/person/night if you share a 2-person room, or $40/night for a 1-person room. These have the advantage of being a five minute walk from the hackathon location in Raymond Hall. | ||

Martin recommends the following options for hotels, which should be '''booked through Martin if you wish to receive the college's reduced room rate'''. He will arrange a car ride to campus for you if necessary, but obviously the further hotels would work better if you have your own car. There are [http://www.slnysarc.org/transit-map occasional buses], also, but these may entail walking 1 km from downtown. | |||
*[Clarkson Inn] - a Victorian-style hotel near the river and downtown, only 1 km from the campus, this is the best hotel option if you plan to walk in each day. | |||
'' | *[https://www.nfmotel.com/ Northern Family Motel] - a cheaper option, though it's 4 km from the campus. | ||
*Scottish Inns - another cheaper option about 4 km from campus. | |||
*[http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-york/hampton-inn-potsdam-OGSPCHX/index.html Hampton Inn] - more expensive than the above, but can work out cheap if 3-4 people share a room; it's close to shops and my house, and it's about 3 km from campus. | |||
*[http://1844house.com/ 1844 House] - a fine restaurant with a small hotel attached, about 9 km from campus. | |||
There are a few other small motels, etc. - by all means check with Martin if you find an alternative place you'd like to book. | |||
