Dorm Housing

Dorm housing is available from the night of Thursday, June 10 until Monday, June 14. Housing includes linens and towels.

We have both single and double rooms available. Single rooms are $27 per night. Double rooms are $23 per night per person. The rooms have a shared bathroom, one per hallway.

You can pay for dorm rooms at the same time as you purchase your conference ticket, or you can purchase dorm housing any time up until June 1. Space is limited so we encourage you to pay for your room early.

The dorm, Middlebrook Hall, is very close to the conference venue. The walk between the two is about five minutes p

Days Hotel

The Days Hotel is a bit further from the venue, but also cheaper than the nearby Holiday Inn. The walk to the venue is about 1.5 miles, or you can use the hotel's shuttle service to get to the venue. The shuttle runs approximately every half hour between 7am and 10pm. The hotel offers free high speed internet and allows companion animals (fees may apply).

The Days Hotel has reserved 8 non-smoking rooms for TLOV attendees at $69 (+ tax) per night. These rooms are available from Friday, June 11 until Monday, June 14. To reserve a room, please contact the Day Hotel at 612-623-3999 and mention that you are with Compassionate Action for Animals. The group rate discount is reserved until May 11, 2009, after which the rate will depend on availability.

Holiday Inn Metrodome

The Holiday Inn Metrodome is within short walking distance of the site where the conference will be held. It is also next-door to several restaurants and right on the city bus-line which provides a short ride to downtown Minneapolis, The Guthrie Theatre, The Metrodome, and more.

Stay with a local volunteer

We'll be organizing local volunteers to provide a space for out-of-town attendees to stay. We don't yet know how many spots we'll have. Please contact us if you'd like to be put on the list of people who want a space. These spaces will be allocated to speakers who want one first, and then to attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis.
