CONFERENCE HOTELS
There is no official conference hotel, but two hotels—the Radisson Plaza Hotel and the Hilton Garden Inn—are within a 10-minute walk of the conference site, while a third—the Comfort Inn Downtown—will take about 15 minutes. There is parking on-site at the conference and several other hotel options around Kalamazoo within a 15-minute drive/Uber/Lyft ride. There are also several historic houses downtown that are now bed and breakfasts, including the Kalamazoo House and the Stuart Avenue Inn.
