HOTEL:
The Tom Swift convention will be held at the Sheraton Mission Valley San Diego Hotel at 1433 Camino Del Rio South. San Diego, CA 92108. This hotel is conveniently located near several freeways and a trolley stop (0.5 mile walk to trolley stop). It is a short trip from the airport and near two major shopping malls.
We are able to offer a special rate for convention goers at $129 a night (for a Single or Double Room).
These rates are good for anytime between July 13-21, 2010. This includes free Internet access and free parking. Rooms will book quickly, especially if you are planning to stay after the convention for the Comic-Con, so reserve your room now!
Rooms may not be available after June 16th. Also, we will be charged for rooms not used, so you are supporting the convention hosts by booking your room at our convention hotel before June 16th. (Be sure to book through our web link or to tell the person you are with the Convention while booking your room!)
In order to hold our convention there, we promised to book a certain number of rooms through the hotel. Please make sure that you use the link provided below or indicate that you wish to book under the "Tom Swift Convention" block when calling the hotel, to ensure we get credit for your booking and that you get the discounted rate we have negotiated.
