Housing Information and Instructions

1. Requests for housing can be made only by submitting the official Housing Application form or by reserving online. Phone reservations will not be accepted by hotels at the convention rate. Reservations are accepted on an availability basis - first come, first served - but no later than February 18.

2. Complete only one application form per room and mail in the blue pre-addressed envelope promptly to: RA Reservations, NYSUT, 800 Troy-Schenectady Road, Latham , NY 12110-2455 .

3. In the event that the block of rooms at your first-choice hotel becomes exhausted, your reservation will be automatically transferred to the next available property.

4. A non-refundable deposit of $215 per room is required and all reservations will be considered by the hotel as guaranteed for late arrival. The deposit will be applied to the first night of stay. Check or money order made payable to NYSUT, or American Express, Visa or Master Card will be accepted for this deposit. No Discover cards please. Credit cards will be charged the deposit after February 18.

5. Primary occupant can expect to receive confirmation by March 11. If a confirmation is not received by that time, contact NYSUT Travel & Conference Services at (800) 342-9810 ext. 6699 or by e-mail to rahouse@nysutmail.org.

6. Cancellations may be made directly with NYSUT up until March 25 and must be submitted in writing either via fax at (518) 213-6461 or e-mail to rahouse@nysutmail.org. Changes in arrival, departure or name must be made directly with the hotel after receipt of a hotel confirmation.

7. See below for rates at each hotel. Please note that rollaway beds do not fit in most NYC hotel rooms; therefore, plan your occupancy based on a maximum of two beds per room.

8. Since NYSUT locals are not eligible for sales tax exemption, the hotel will not accept tax exemption certificates.
