Participants can call the hotel directly and ask for reservations or for Amy Polak. The room block is reserved under: CILT. You will need to mention this in order to get the special rate. Attendees are responsible for their own room charges.
The cut off date on the rooms is February 6th and any rooms not booked by this date will be released to the general public.
Here are the transportation options from the airport to the hotel:
1. You can take the light rail system. You need to transfer downtown and get on the train towards Hillsboro. You get off at Orenco Station. Walk from the train straight down the street to Cornell Blvd. The hotel will be across the street and up 1 block. It is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel also has a complimentary shuttle that you can call from the light rail to come and pick you up. Our light rail system is very modern and comes about every 10 minutes.
2. You can take a super shuttle from the airport for a fixed rate - usually under $25
3. You can take a taxi - usually about $50-$60 (very expensive this way)
4. You can rent a car - but please don't drive to Intel. Bus service will be provided from the hotel to Intel the days of the event. Parking is a big issue at Intel, so we don't encourage everyone to drive themselves to the event.
