Accommodations

This comfortable and convenient housing structure is located on SLAC's campus and is just a quick walk away from the meeting at Kavli Building. Guests will have access to in-room high-speed internet, a fitness center, a 24-hour reception desk, laundry facilities, free parking, complimentary tea and coffee, and a 24-hour gift shop. During weekends, complimentary bagels, muffins, juice, and tea/coffee are served in the first floor lounge.

The Stanford Guest House offers single as well as shared rooms at very reasonable rates. All rooms have their own bathroom. Rooms are non-smoking only. The block reservation for the workshop has expired and guest house is most likely full. However, it may be still worth a try of the online-reservation form. In case the web form says no room available, it's still worth calling the Guest House (+1)-650-926-2800 to see if they have sporadic cancellations that freed up a room. You can put yourself on the waiting list if this is still the most preferrable option for you.

SLAC Cafeteria unfortunately only opens for breakfast and lunch on weekdays. If you are really stuck without car or shuttle at some point, you might consider what's available at the small Sharon Height Shopping Center (a 24 hour Safeway supermarket at least) within walking distance from SLAC, or even getting Waiters on Wheels to deliver dinner to you...

A list of off-campus hotels can be found here. In the price range column of the hotel table, more $ signs means more expensive. If you don't like to ponder over all the options, some suggestions to consider:

• Cardinal Hotel: Located at downtown Palo Alto close to CalTrain station and Marguerite shuttle hub. Easy walking to many restaurants and bars. May be one of the best options in case you don't have a car. For those with a rental car, this is among the very few places you have to check the parking instructions on their web page due to its downtown location.
• Hotel California: Located close to California Avenue CalTrain station and several Margurite shuttle lines. There are also quite a few restaurants within walking distance. This is another place which can work without a rental car.
• The Red Cottage Inn &Suites: is located in Menlo Park which has been favored by many regular SLAC visitors. It is more convenient with a rental car for this choice.
• If your budget is flexible enough (currency base being CHF might help these days) to allow ~$190/day rates, there are two places Stanford Terrance Inn and Creekside Inn which offer improved accommodation and extra benefit of providing transportation to SLAC.
