Hotels and Travel Arrangments

Posted on 14. Sep, 2007 by in Blog Introduction

Coming to New York for the Network Journalism Summit?

Don’t forget to make your travel arragnments soon, to keep the cost down.

CUNY is trying to get a group deal for hotel rooms in New York close to the conference (Times Square) but Frankly, the rates on Hotels.com are better.

We may have a group deal for a Mariott Courtyard and if we do, we will pass along the information.

If you know of any deals, please share your notes by commenting below.

    Via Hotels.com, as David suggested, got a room at Comfort Inn Central Park West for $237 a night (before taxes, etc).

    suggest cramped, basic but OK rooms.

    Hey, is there a schedule (well, okay, a start time) for the conference somewhere around here? Thanks!

    i’m looking for a hotel room to share for a couple of nights (10-9/10) — or a very kind soul that can host me in NYC, a couch to crash on is enough…

    i’m traveling from santa fe, nm, and hope i’m not the only one on a tight budget here 😉

    Lisa, maybe you found it already: http://newsinnovation.com/about/

    Davida said that “discussion will start at 9am sharp (we have a lot to cover in one day)”

    Still looking for a hotel? There’s a place called the Chelsea Star Hotel, near Penn Station. It looks to be youth hostel-style, but if you don’t mind it, a single room can be had for about $109/night during the week (plus taxes & fees). Reservations number is (877) 827-NYNY [827-6969] (Chelsea Star’s TripAdvisor ratings)
