Hotel

We have obtained a group rate at the Larkspur Landing Sunnyvale for the four nights May 31st to June 4th. The group rate is $129.00 per night for a studio suite, which includes the "Healthy Start Breakfast" (cold buffet), WiFi, parking, complimentary use of the business center and fitness center, guest laundry facilities, and fresh baked cookies served each night in the lobby.

This hotel is 5 miles from Google; some of us will probably rent cars and drive there; if there are not enough spaces in cars, then we can share taxis to get to the meeting place. For a virtual tour of the hotel, please check out their website at http://www.LarkspurLanding.com/Sunnyvale.

This is a good rate; the normal rate is about $180 per night. Part of the purpose of a Working group is to spend as much time as possible with the other members of the group: group meals and shared excursions are part of the experience. So, please try to stay at this hotel if possible. If it's too expensive, consider sharing a room with another member (you can send out requests on the mailing list.)

Car Rental

Andrew Black discovered that the http://www.alaskaair.com/shopping/car web site let him rent a car for a week (i.e., including the time for which he will be at PLDI) for less than it would cost for the 4 days of the Working Group meeting. He will probably stay at the Larkspur for PLDI as well, assuming that they will extend the group rate for extra days.
