ACCOMMODATIONS If you require accommodations during the NYCEA Conference for one or more nights (e.g., Friday, October 9/Saturday, October 10), you will need to make reservations. Listed below are nine lodgings to be found within about 1 to 3 miles from the Hilbert College campus. All are near, or relatively so, to Exit 56 or Exit 57 of Interstate-90. All quoted group rates have been negotiated individually with each of the participating nine inns/motels. In acknowledging the arrangements established, it is very unlikely that better deals for given properties can be had through the Internet. Properties with comparatively higher reduced rates reflect somewhat more amenities or higher expectations regarding their respective qualities. Properties with lower reduced rates are perhaps somewhat more spartan by comparison. Certainly bargains are to be had among the nine, but it is good to remember that one gets what one pays for and to plan accordingly. The following pages offer basic information for each inn or motel relative to your decision. Such information may vary from one property to another, so be sure to follow directions pertaining to the particular inn/motel in which you are interested; e.g., number to call, type of rooms available, group code/rates, cut-off date for group rate. Note #1: The property manager, though listed, is not needed for basic reservations. Note #2: Unless otherwise specified, most of these properties prefer you to call for the group rate, using the phone number given. Feel free, however, to look up particular inns/motels from this list on the Internet to confirm additional information not included here; e.g., check-in/check-out times, cancellation policies, any breakfast accommodation, wifi availability, swimming pool, and the like. Please make hotel reservations promptly while rooms are available. A Last Note: If one seeks further luxury (sans group rate reductions) and is willing to drive a greater distance (c. 14 miles), downtown Buffalo itself has several hotels to be recommended, such as Adam s Mark, the Hyatt Regency, and the Lafayette Hotel.

TO HILBERT: 2.44 miles; 4 minutes take right on Rt. 20 (Southwestern Blvd.); AIR TRAVEL Those planning to travel by air are encouraged (1) to make flight reservations with an appropriate carrier in a timely manner to ensure available seating at a reasonable cost & (2) to secure, as needed, a vehicle from one of the car rental agencies at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport (e.g., Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Dollar) for transportation to the college in Hamburg, NY (or to one s inn/motel of choice, for example, in Hamburg or Blasdell, NY). TRAIN TRAVEL Those traveling by train, for example, from downstate New York with intent to rent a vehicle for transportation to the college in Hamburg, NY (or to one s inn/motel of choice, for example, in Hamburg or Blasdell, NY), may wish to exit the train at the Depew station, rather than the Buffalo station. The Depew station is a relatively short taxi ride to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where car rental agencies can be accessed (see Air Travel ). Exiting at the Buffalo station might entail a taxi ride to a downtown car rental, such as Enterprise Rent-a-Car (1312 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14209; 716-884- 6666). BUS TRAVEL Those traveling by bus will want to end their trip at the NFTA-Metro terminal fronting N. Division Street in downtown Buffalo (Information, 716-855-7211), where taxis are parked outside to facilitate transportation to car rentals like Enterprise (see Train Travel for the downtown Enterprise address/phone number) for the drive to the college in Hamburg, NY (or to one s inn/motel of choice, for example, in Hamburg or Blasdell, NY). If no taxi is present, then inside the terminal between Gates 8 and 9 is a service desk (Buffalo Transportation, 877-5600) where taxis can be called.
