[yapc] lodging woes and solution

[Kevin Eye]

FYI - the Marriott, Hampton Inn, a Super 8 Motel, and a Red Roof Inn 
are all in the same small block between Maple Rd. and Millersport 
Highway on Flint Rd. This block borders the University (on the opposite 
side as the University Inn). You can see the conference site from any 
of these hotels (there might be some trees in the way). All are 
probably about a mile away.

I've never stayed at the Red Roof Inn, so I can't speak to it's quality 
(and good luck with internet access), but it looks like you can make a 
reservation for $52 a night here:
