Rooms have been set aside at the Bell Tower Hotel, Campus Inn and Fairfield Inn. The Bell Tower Hotel (300 S. Thayer) is a small, comfortable hotel just at the edge of campus. Rates there are $91/ single and $103/double plus 8% tax. Rooms in the name "dynamical systems" will be held at least until March 26. Phone: (800) 999-8693.
The Campus Inn (State & East Huron) is a much larger, comfortable hotel two blocks further away. Rates there are $82/single plus $12/additional guest plus 8% tax. Rooms in the name "dynamical systems" will be held at least until March 26. Phone: (800) 666-8693 (Julie Ranspach).
The Fairfield Inn (3285 Boardwalk, near Exit 177 of I-94) is much further (4 miles south of campus) and much less expensive. Rates there are $52/single or double plus 8% tax. There are occasional public buses to the University. Rooms in the name "dynamical systems" will be held at least until April 5. Phone: (800) 228-2800.
When you make a reservation, send Carl Simon cpsimon@umich.edu an email message about it for his records.
The conference will be held in East Hall, new home of the mathematics department. Formerly called East Engineering, East Hall is located on East University Street, just north of the intersection with South University. If you are driving north on State Street (as above), turn right at the stop sign onto South University; the next stop sign is East University. East Hall is adjacent to and overlooking Ulrich's Book Store.
The nearest airport is Detroit Metro Airport. Limousine service to the airport is $15/one way, $27/RT. Taxi fare is about $40 from the airport; $28 to the airport.
Amtrak serves Ann Arbor with three trains daily to and from Chicago.
