Conference Hotel

The conference hotel is:

The Cook Hotel at LSU
3848 West Lakeshore Drive
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808
1-866-610-COOK (2665)
https://www.thecookhotel.com/

We have reserved a block of rooms there at the conference rate of \$119/night for a standard room (either one king-size bed or two double beds), and \$139 for a luxury suite, plus tax. Each additional person in a room beyond the first two will pay an extra \$10/night. Prices include a hot breakfast. The hotel will hold this block of rooms for us until April 8, 2019, after which it will release any unreserved rooms for sale to the general public.

Guests can make reservations in one of two ways:

(a) Visit www.thecookhotel.com, enter dates of stay and click "Check Availability." Then, in the left hand column in the resulting page, click on "Special Codes." Then, in the resulting drop-down menu under "Group Code," enter “190505OALL”. (This code is valid until April 8th.) Then click on "Check Availability" (again). Then click on "View Available Rooms." Then select either a room with a king-size bed or a room with two double beds (same price). Then enter your address and credit card information.

(b) Alternatively, call The Cook Hotel at 866-610-COOK(2665), request dates of stay and blocked code for the OAL Conference.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours prior to scheduled arrival.

Graduate students should contact the organizers rather than calling the hotel, as the conference will try to subsidize graduate students' lodging.

If you wish to share a room at the Cook Hotel but you do not have a roommate in mind, please let the organizers know; we will keep a list and let you know who else might be seeking roommates.

Registration Fee

Registration fee: $\le\$50.00$. This will cover refreshments served during the conference and a catered dinner at the Delzells' house on Monday (earlier announced for Tuesday, until the weatherman threatened rain for Tuesday evening). The fee will be collected on the first day of the conference.

Travel

How to get to LSU: If you let us know several days in advance when your plane will land at the Baton Rouge airport (BTR), we'll try to pick you up. A taxi (e.g., Mackie's Cab Service, 225-774-9645), if used, costs approximately \$25 from the Baton Rouge airport to the Cook Hotel. Uber costs \$20-\$30. If you're driving to Baton Rouge, check Google maps.
