Hotel Reservations

Make your hotel reservations now and save! NSTA has negotiated special discounted room rates with five hotels near the Cervantes Convention Center. You must make your reservation through Orchid Event Solutions to receive these discounts. You may make your reservation by internet, phone, or mail.

Click to:

  • Shop for NSTA hotels and/or make your hotel reservation now using our online reservation option.
  • Download a Housing Reservation Form in Adobe Acrobat format, including hotel list and map, to mail your reservation.

Some Do’s and Don’ts

Do make sure to make your reservation through Orchard Event Solutions/NSTA to get the special conference hotel rates. Making reservations through the hotel directly, or through a central hotel reservation number, will not guarantee that you receive the NSTA discounted rates.

Do make your hotel reservation as soon as possible. Hotels fill up fast, and reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. For best availability, make your reservation online.

Do not fax your Housing Request Form to NSTA. In particular, some people have sent a Housing Request Form along with their conference registration. This will delay the processing of your hotel reservation.

Hotels do not accept Purchase Orders for deposits or payment of hotel rooms.

If it is necessary that you cancel your reservation, do so as soon as possible to avoid penalty.
