The group rate is $79 per room.  Our block of rooms consists of 10 rooms with two queen-sized beds (great for those that plan to share a room) and 15 rooms with one king-sized bed.  

Please call 1-(217)-337-1100 or FAX 1-(217)-337-1143 and give the group code GRI.  A credit card will be needed to hold the room.  Special arrangements can be made for those with foreign credit cards.

PARKING

The conference will take place in Altgeld Hall, which is at the intersection of West Green Street and Wright Street. This is an easy walk from Hampton Inn, as well as from the Illini Union Hotel.

Parking on most campus lots is free between 5:00pm Friday and 6:00am Monday.

Metered parking is available along Wright Street.

There is a parking deck (C-7 on the map) located at the corner of John Street and Sixth Street. There are parking meters on the roof of the garage, and this should be a good option if you require campus parking on Friday. As with most campus options, this garage has free parking during the weekend.
