Should you drive to Iowa City, parking will not be too difficult to find; however, free parking may require some walking. The "walkable" hotels listed below all offer parking in adjacent parking ramps.

For hotels further away, you should park in one of the public parking ramps ($0.75/hour), or park in the faculty parking lot #11 (which is free and open to the public from Friday 4:30pm until Monday at 7:30am).

Hotel accomodations and reservations are up to attendees.

If you wish to walk from your hotel, please book soon! Rooms at all of the downtown hotels are either unavailable or in low supply.
