It does not matter if some people won't be checking in until Sunday, the 7th - the room rate of $75/night (tax not included) is the same.
There are three or four Holiday Inns in that general area. Be sure that everyone uses the 1201 West 94th Street Holiday Inn.
This Holiday Inn is basically located right off of I-35W.
The exit is 94th Street.

As a reminder, this hotel has a complimentary shuttle to the Mall of America (about a 7 minute ride) which is also the location of the Light Rail system train station which will take our group downtown for $2.25. The drive to the Convention facility is 20-35 minutes, the latter time is rush hour. Also, for those checking in, sign up for the Priority Club (free) and get a 10% discount on breakfast. |
