ACCOMMODATIONS

Hotel space for the March AKLA conference in Juneau is going fast. Our main conference hotel, the Goldbelt, is now fully booked.

Discounted conference rates are still available at the Prospector Hotel. This recently remodeled hotel is located one block from
Centennial Hall, our conference site. Call the Prospector direct at 907-586-3737 to book. Mountain-wing rooms are $75 a night, water-view rooms are $95, if you ask for the "AKLA conference ALASKAN FLY-IN" rate. The basic rate covers either single or double occupancy, and it costs $10 for each additional person after two in the room.

For other accommodation options, try the online listings at http://www.traveljuneau.com/planner/accommodations. If you have no
Internet access, call 586-0443 and give your name and fax number to receive a printout of these listings.

Juneau has a 5% sales tax plus a 7% bed tax. Both apply to lodging rates.

Thank you to Carol McCabe, the Accommodations Chair, for this helpful information!

The Goldbelt Hotel

The Goldbelt Hotel Juneau is our official conference hotel. It is conveniently located in downtown Juneau next to the conference site in Centennial Hall. The Goldbelt offers nicely furnished rooms with a choice of a harbor or mountain view, non-smoking option, free parking, plus Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles. In-room exercise equipment is available. Owned by Goldbelt, Inc., an Alaskan Native corporation, the hotel displays the three-diamond symbol for excellence in hospitality and is AAA-approved.

The Goldbelt Hotel Juneau offers a special AkLA-discounted room rate of $99 which applies for either single or double occupancy. There is an additional $15 fee for a third person in a room. Rates are subject to a 12% city sales and occupancy tax.

You may contact the Goldbelt in one of these ways:
- reservation department toll-free at 888-478-6909
- direct line at 907-586-6900
- email david.hays@goldbelt.com

When booking, be sure to mention that you are attending the AkLA Annual Conference.

Make early reservations as Juneau hotels are heavily booked and frequently sold out during the legislative session. The 105 rooms in this prime location will only be reserved exclusively for AkLA Annual Conference participants until mid-February. After that, Goldbelt will no longer be able to assure space for attendees.
