Wyndham San Diego Bayside
San Diego, California 

About the hotel: Wyndham San Diego Bayside

Included in the room is complimentary resort fee which gives you free WiFi in your  room for the length of stay and free airport shuttle. The hotel is located right on the waterfront with terrific access to San Diego's famous recreation path and many restaurants.  This is a great spot to get out and run or go for a walk before or after the day's events.  

Just a few blocks away is Little Italy, San Diego's premier dining area.  Little Italy is filled with patio cafés, restaurants, pubs, art galleries, shops, hotels, and the beautiful Amici Park.  Check it out online at http://www.littleitalysd.com.

Our conference rate is $189/night.  This rate is offered based on availability to all conference participants for 3 days leading up to the conference and 3 days after the conference, should you decide to lengthen your stay in San Diego.  We encourage you to make your reservations early if you are planning to extend your stay, as the hotel may book up with other groups. 

The deadline for making hotel reservations is Friday, December 16, 2016.  Please make your reservations before that point to guarantee a room.  If our room block sells out we will do everything in our power to set you up in an alternate hotel.
