Contact Adam (holt @ laptop.org) to arrange hotel options, university dorms or hosting with friends.  Martin Walker and his compadres in Potsdam, NY are ''greatly assisting to make this all possible, as you will see!''
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.

'''''Contact us *immediately* if you want us to reserve you a room!'''''


May/June Update: Martin has worked non-stop on this in recent months to arrange the best accommodations options, including 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.
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.
'''''Contact us *immediately* if you want us to reserve you a room!'''''
*[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.
