Occupied: Taking up Space and Time

There are many hotels in Bloomington. See below for some options.

This is the hotel on campus; it’s an extremely convenient choice. The conference will be held in the same building. The building also contains a food court and a Starbucks, and other restaurants are within walking distance (or bussing; the Union is located on several bus lines). The airport shuttles stop here. Rates start at $84 ($104 for Friday and Saturday nights; however, if you book Thursday night, you get the whole stay at the lower rate).

Located on the airport shuttle route and several bus lines, this hotel is also within walking distance of the downtown “square” area, where a lot of interesting restaurants are located. It is approximately half a mile from the Indiana Memorial Union, where the conference is held; one could walk. Rates start at $119/night (weekend $139).

This hotel is located right next to the Comfort Inn, on the airport shuttle route, 2 miles from the Union, where the conference is held. Walking to the conference site is not recommended, but one can take the bus (the 6 line). Rates start at $102/night ($131 weekends), and it seems to be beneficial to book in advance for a good price.
