Hi all – after much research, we decided that the best hotel option was the Del Mar Inn:

720 Camino Del Mar
Del Mar, CA 92014

(Note on links: if you click directly on the following link, you will need to use your browser’s “back” button to return to the boards after viewing, or you will have to log back in to the forum. As an alternative, you can right-click the link and open it in a new tab or new window).

http://www.delmarinn.com/

The Del Mar Inn is several miles from Shiley, but if there is enough interest, the hotel will provide a shuttle at 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.. This hotel is two blocks away from the beach (😎 ) and was much less expensive than the options that were closer.

Conference participants will receive a special rate of $99.99/night for a Garden View/Queen and $119.99 for an Ocean View/Queen for May 6th and May 7th. To reserve, call 858-755-9765 and ask for the Graves’ Disease & Thyroid Foundation Rate. This rate will be available until April 13th or until the room block is sold out. Cancellations made less than 3 days before arrival will be subject to one night’s room charge.

Registration for the event will be $10 and will include a light breakfast and a boxed lunch. The registration link will be coming soon!
