Festival 2010 attendees have a wide range of lodging options, all located within a five-minute drive to Calvin's campus. (Students who are interested in on-campus housing options during the Festival should contact the Festival office for more information.)
We have negotiated special rates for Festival 2010 attendees at each of the hotels listed below; please be sure to mention the Festival when making your reservations. Note: These rates are good only through the middle of March.
A note about walking: The hotels located near the intersection of 28th Street and the East Beltline appear on maps to be just a short walk from campus, and that would be the case if they were not such busy roads. These are not pedestrian-friendly roads—no continual sidewalks run along them—so we do not recommend planning to walk along them to or from campus.
Also, a special—and very important—note about shuttle service: Due to budgetary constraints, we will be able to provide shuttle service only at the beginning and end of each conference day, with limited service to and from hotels during the dinner hour. Some of the hotels listed also offer complimentary shuttle service to and from Calvin's campus. Please check with your hotel for more information.
If you need shuttle service to campus during Festival 2010, please make your reservations at one of the following hotels.
