FW: AAA Montreal Hotels

[Kenneth Ehrensal]

The $139 rate is not a student rate, it is the Auto Club rate for the general public.  It is $10 less per night than the cheapest 'attendee' rate offered through the AAA. (Also, there appear only to be 'smoking' rooms left at the cheapest attendee rate.)

As a result AAA was able to negotiate a new student rate of $119 per evening over the dates of the meeting. These rates are only available if booked through AAA's housing bureau http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/info/travel/hotel_travel.cfm
