We have reserved a limited block of rooms for Friday and Saturday nights (9/28 & 9/29) at the Crowne Plaza hotel in the heart of beautiful downtown Rochester, directly on the west bank of the Genesee River at 70 State Street. This is about 1.5 Miles (~2.5km) by foot from the party. The rate of $85 per room per night (for either two double beds or one king sized bed) is no longer guaranteed.
RESERVATION PROCEDURES: To make a reservation call (585) 324-0038 and ask for rooms under "Zodiac Ultimate Tournament." Ask for Patty Vahue, reservations manager, if you have any problems.
Please try to make a realistic assessment of your needs at the time you reserve because the hotel gets unhappy when lots of rooms are reserved and then cancelled at the last minute. Also, we have only set aside a limited block of rooms so make your reservations as soon as possible! Finally, when you do reserve, you may want to check when you must cancel by in order to avoid charges.
We have also reserved a limited block of rooms at the East Avenue Inn at 384 East Avenue, about 4 blocks from the party. The hotel is a little sketchy and reviews range from decent to scathing. Caveat emptor!!! However, the location is excellent with easy walking to restaurants and nightlife. These rooms are at $59 for one King size bed and $69 for 2 full size beds. Contact reservations at 585-325-5010/1-800-559-8039 by September 10th - ask for the special rate under "Zodiac Ultimate Frisbee."
We also may be able to coax a few local ultimate players into hosting some out of town players. If you want to try your luck contact grada@yahoogroups.com and we'll try to see if we can hook you up.
