The Hotel Arizona at 181 W Broadway Blvd.
We got a discount rate of $84 a night. They gave us until Sep 19th to make our reservations at this rate. When making your reservation, let them know you’re here for our conference. Norma Howard, nhoward@thehotelaz.com is our contact. She speaks Spanish. This hotel is four blocks away from the shuttle station (the station is right next to (but outside of) the main bus station although you shouldn’t be confused: only TICET shuttles are the free shuttles). You’ll see the stops right before reaching the 6th street underpass (on 6th street and Pennington).
The Hotel Congress at 311 East Congress Street
You can make reservations by emailing them reservations@hotelcongress.com or the person I talked to allison@hotelcongress.com. Phone: 520-622-8848. Rates are $69-$119, depending on the type of room. You may find more information about amenities and how to get there at the hotel’s webpage.
The Roadrunner hostel at 346 East 12th Street
We also contacted a hostel called The Roadrunner. You can email them roadrunr@dakotacom.net or call them for reservations. They very nicely told me they thought they'd have space for you and that they'll be very happy to have them in the hostel. Tel (520) 628-4709 Cell (520) 940-7280
