You can reserve a room online, which is the recommended way to reserve a room. There are certain limitations with the online system though; if you don't get the rates you think you should get online, you need to call the hotel directly at +1-928-284-4040 or +1-877-273-3762. However, if you call make sure to speak with an in-house reservation agent (in the hotel, not in a national Hilton call-center), and make sure to mention SoCG'06. The hotel should give you the rates quoted above, even for rooms outside the reserved room block as long as they have the comparable room type available. If you speek to an in-house reservation agent they can verify this in the contract we have with them. If you have any problems with the rates, please call the Hilton in-house reservation agents (from 8am-5pm Arizona time), and if you still have problems please contact the organizers at socg06@cs.arizona.edu.
Please reserve early -- we only have 30 reserved suites and 45 reserved regular rooms. The deadline for hotel reservations at the negotiated conference rate is May 4th.
Each suite has a bedroom (with one king bed or two queen beds), a living room (with one couch), and a bathroom. The entrance door to the suite is in the living room. There is a door between the living room and the bedroom, and the bathroom has two doors (one to either room). The couch converts into a comfortable queen bed. There is the option to add a roll-in bed to the living room, however this bed is not quite as comfortable as the other beds, and space gets a little cramped with a roll-in bed and the couch being converted into a queen bed.
