The MARAC Conference hotel is nearly fill for the Baltimore April 2006 Conference. There are several $179.00 rooms available for all nights and a hand-full of $144.00 per night rooms on Friday. For further information about these rooms please go to http://www.lib.umd.edu/MARAC/conferences/2006/spring06/spring2006hotelregis.pdf. Tremont rooms are large and can easily be shared. The Baltimore Local Arrangements Committee has recently learned that the Miss USA Pageant is taking place in downtown Baltimore on Friday, April 21. Hotels are filling up fast, and none of the affordable hotels on the Inner Harbor seem to have vacancies for that date at this time. Below are four additional possibilities near the Tremont Grand and ranging North into the Mount Vernon neighborhood and East into Little Italy. As of Friday, March 3, 2006, www.thebaltimoreguide.com listed the following hotels as having vacancies for single room, double-occupancy at the following rates for Friday, April 21 (and probably other nights). Special rates are available through that website. Expedia or other search services, as well as the website reservation pages of the hotels themselves, may also help you find vacancies and deals.
