However, thing is, I am a cheapskate.  I go to these conferences every year and most of the attendees are paying $200/night to stay right near the venue and I refuse to pay that much. So usually I stay at the university dorms. The conferences are right after school is out, so the dorms are empty, so you can get rooms for between $50 and $80. There are usually kitchen areas and refridgerators so I don't have to eat out all the time, adding to the expense of the trip. It has worked out great for me in the past.
So the venue for conference is the Telus Convention Centreon 9th avenue. It doesn't look like there is any university building in the area... they all seem to be across the river. Is there anything affordable around the convention centre? |
SAIT probably has rooms (closer to downtown than U of C).

Unfortunately, the Cecil Hotel is no longer welcoming guests.
