Lodging
Where can I find the information about the hotel and its room rate?
The information on the Crowne Plaza hotel is on the home page, under’ Hotel Reservation’ link on the Reunion website (http://www.tfgh1969.org/). We then link you to the Crowne Plaza Hotel Boston – Natick Hotel’s own website, http://www.bos-natick.crowneplaza.com/, from where you can reserve a room on-line or by phone. A group code, THS, shall be used to receive a discount on the room rate. This special room rate is $100 per night per double occupancy. There is an additional 9.7% hotel tax.
Do I reserve directly with the hotel?
Yes. You can book the room on-line or by call 1 (800) 972-3381. Be sure that you read the “Hotel Need-to-Know” page on our web before you reserve a room. The special rate is only available to you when you make a reservation before the group rate cut off date, September 9, 2009. After September 9, the group room rate and its room availability are no longer guaranteed. The regular room rate is $129 per night plus taxes.
I am coming alone, is there a way to find a roommate among the classmates who plan to attend Reunion?
We have provided a blogger page "Roommate Wanted" on our web for you to post your inquiry. This is like a bulletin board where anyone can ask or answer anything. You can coordinate with one of them who responds to your inquiry on your own.
Will I get the same hotel room rate if I come early to Boston, or I stay a few more days after the Reunion?
The rate stays the same at $100 per room per double occupancy for however long you intend to stay in Boston, provided that the room is reserved prior to September 9, 2009. After this date, neither the $100 room rate nor the room availability is guaranteed.
