RS Peabody Museum Director Malinda Blustain sends the following information on housing. Please note deadlines.
We have made arrangements for group rates at two hotels, the Andover Wyndham and La Quinta Inn and Suites, that are about a mile apart.
A block of 20 rooms was reserved at the Wyndham for the nights of October 14th and 15th at the Wyndham. When booking a room the “Phillips Academy-Northeast Andean Group” must be referenced. The room rate there for a single king bed or two double beds is $99.00 (plus 11.7% tax=$110.58) per night. The triple rate is $109 plus tax ($121.75), and the quadruple rate is $119.99 plus tax ($133.00). Room reservations at the Wyndham must be made by October 7th. Check in is 3:00 PM. Check out is noon. The Wyndham has the On the Bone Steakhouse and two full bars, the On the Bone Lobby Bar and the Character’s Sports Bar and Club, on site, as well as room service and a complimentary continental breakfast buffet. Contact them at 978-975-3600.
The La Quinta Inn and Suites is cheaper and has fewer amenities. We reserved a block of 10 rooms there that each have two queen-sized beds. The group rate for these rooms is $73.80 plus taxes ($82.44). Reservations for the La Quinta Inn and Suites must be made by September 23rd. When booking a room the “Northeast Andean Conference” must be referenced. The La Quinta offers a free “Bright Side” breakfast, but does not have a restaurant or a bar on site. Contact them at 1-978-685-6200.
I would be grateful if you could bring this announcement to the attention of colleagues who may not be on the list. Also, I will post information at: http://caralperu.typepad.com/ncaae/
Sharon Shaughnessy from the Andover Inn sends this message:
The Inn is willing to offer a 10% discount for lunch Sat and Brunch on Sunday to your attendees. We would like to encourage them to make reservations. When you send your next e-mail, could you include this information and contact phone number for the Inn 978-775-4910 or www.opentable.com to make reservations. When they arrive, all they have to do is mention they are part of the Peabody Convention to receive the discount. The lunch menu selection is very reasonably priced and all they need to do is walk across the street! The brunch on Sunday is incredible!
Let me know if you have any questions.
All best,
Dan
