We are excited to offer three options for discounted participant lodging in Bozeman during the week of the workshop. There are three blocks of lodging reserved from Monday (May 23) to Friday (Mary 27). Please note the cutoff date of each option, as any unbooked rooms will be released at that time. The most expensive option is the Lewis & Clark Motel at $216.92 per night for a double queen-bed room. The other hotel option is the Best Western Plus Grantree Hotel at $133.92 per night with multiple room configurations available. The last option is to rent a dorm room on campus for $50 per night.  There are other hotels you might choose to stay at in downtown Bozeman where we do NOT have blocks of rooms reserved (including The Lark, The Element ,The Armory, or the Residence Inn by Marriott) that are all very close to the workshop venue but tend to be more expensive (in the range of $300-500/night).
