Conclave: Where to stay in Baltimore?

Published 3 Nov 2009 2:32 PM

I don’t know if this has ever happened to you, but I have fallen in the trap of planning a really fun and affordable road trip—while using an online travel site to book an inexpensive hotel—only to show up at said hotel to see that the place is actually a dump and looks nothing like the photos on the Web site. It’s so disappointing too, because the whole idea of the road trip is to save some dough but not to sacrifice cleanliness or sanity.

So I am here to report that the Student Conclave official hotel, Hilton Baltimore, is one amazing property. I recently attended a meeting at the Hilton and not only is the hotel brand new, but it stands towering over Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team, with amazing views of the baseball stadium and downtown Baltimore.


Everything in the hotel is shiny and new, the staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful, and the location of the hotel is a perfect spot because it puts you smack dab in the middle of all the great things to see and do in Baltimore. Basically, you shouldn’t miss out on staying at this hotel!

In case you didn’t know, AOTA worked out a special deal for our students and Student Conclave attendees for rooms at the Hilton Baltimore. BUT, that deal runs out this Friday, November 6! Some of the rooms we blocked for our students can fit up to four adults, so split the cost with your friends and book a room today. Here is a ton of information about the hotel and the discount.

Also, if you haven’t registered yet, remember to register today to take advantage of the early registration discount!

I can’t wait to see you in Baltimore and see what you think of this hotel!

I love Baltimore also!  I reserved a room in the Hilton Hotel in order to attend the Student Conclave this year because I loved it so much last year.  However, my class schedule and assignments are not going to permit me to attend, so I need some advice on how to provide my room at a discounted rate to someone who still needs a reservation and maybe at a more affordable student price.  Any suggestions?

I don’t know what the parking situation is at your university, but at Louisiana State University

Hannah, thanks for commenting and I'm sorry to hear you're not going to be able to attend Conclave this year!

In reference to your question about the hotel room, we still have sleeping rooms available at the Hilton, so we reccommend that you just cancel the room, because when you do, it will go back into AOTA block, and another student can reserve that room at the same discounted rate.  

But, if you know a specific student that needs a room, name changes can be made prior to arrival without charge.  Either way, keep in mind that in order to avoid a penalty, sleeping rooms must be cancelled no less than 48 hours before arrival. Hope that helps!
