HOTELS FOR THE CONFERENCE

We have reserved blocks of rooms at three hotels in Lubbock for conference participants.   Two hotels are only a block from each other and both located in the northern part of the downtown area, east of campus.    See the maps of this area and of the region between these hotels and campus. 

Each block of rooms is reserved as "AMS Meeting" for the period April 7 through April 11.  The hotels should be contacted locally to obtain the rates below for rooms in the reserved blocks.
