Hotel Information
There are a number of hotels local to the Stanford campus.
There is a
Stanford Local Hotel WWW Page which includes distance to the
campus, price range, and URLs for the online hotels. Exact
distances and directions from common rail points can be found
at http://www.zip2.com/ or
http://www.mapquest.com/.
There is also a
list of hotels the organizing committee has put together. In
many cases, hotels are on both lists, but there are some that only
appear on one.
Air Travel/Airport Information
Stanford is located in Palo Alto which is half way between
San Francisco and San Jose. Flying in to either airport is
an option.
Local Travel
Once on the ground, there are a number of options to get to the
various hotels. If your hotel has a WWW page, it will likely
suggest the best way to get there. The common choices of renting
a car or taking a Super Shuttle are available.
Between the hotel and the Stanford campus there is the
Marguerite Shuttle which is a free shuttle service between Palo
Alto and the Stanford campus.
Parking on campus is difficult. There are two suggestions for those
who do want to park:
- Buy visitor permits that cost $12 per day
for on-campus parking in the 'P' lots. The P lots are closer
to campus, but often fill up and parking is not guaranteed.
- Buy event parking permits for $2.50 per day
that allow people to park in the 'E' lots. The nearest 'E' lot
is about a 15-20 minute walk away from Tressider where the conference
will be held
A
map of parking locations with the 'E' and 'P' lots is available.
