I had a look at the backpacker places but decided that my age and position probably wouldn't justify displacing a real backpacker (read - too picky and my "backpack" will be holding my laptop and wary of leaving it in such a place...). Anyway, I found a nice hotel not too far away, called the Incholm. It is a 32 room inn and looks very nice. And they have wifi internet. Sweet. ...r On 9/9/06, Sarah Stewart <sarahs@tekotago.ac.nz> wrote:

smith@sfu.ca 09/10/06 3:07 AM >>> I realize this isn't likely the appropriate place for it, but I am getting a bit concerned that I can't find a reasonably priced room near the conference hotel. I left it too late to get the discounted rooms (shame on me), so I am now facing either a very pricey room in the Hilton or somewhere else...
Does anyone have a suggestion for a room nearby that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I am not fussy - would take just about anything.
I arrive Tuesday, Sept 26, leave Sunday, Oct 1.
