Accommodations

For your convenience, the Alumni Association has reserved special room blocks at the following five hotels until April 15, 2008. To get one of these discounted rooms, simply call the hotel directly to make your lodging reservation and tell them you want to be in the "Alumni Days Class Reunion block." The first four hotels are in the closest proximity to the ISU campus, and the ISU Alumni Association can provide limited transportation to/from these locations. Other options in the Ames area can be found at http://visitames.com/come_and_stay/.

Additionally, when making plans as to where to stay, you may want to keep in mind that Thursday evening class dinners will be held in the Memorial Union and the Friday night Gold Medal Dinner will be held at the Gateway Hotel. Reunion check-in and general visiting spaces will be at the Knapp-Storms Dining and Conference Center (halfway between the Memorial Union and Gateway Hotel).
