Travel and Accommodations

We are pleased to have conference lodging available on campus this year: South Campus Plaza. It’s an easy walk to conference rooms if want to return to your room between sessions. We anticipate that most participants will opt for staying there for its convenience and to enhance opportunities for collegial engagement. Conference sessions start Monday morning. Rooms are also conveniently located near stores, restaurants, and the trolley station to take you to San Diego’s downtown and to the waterfront. Because the San Diego tourist season begins in June, most hotels charge at least $225.00 per night plus taxes and fees. Regretfully, there are few hotel accommodations close to the SDSU campus, which mean taxis, Ubers, or public transportation to arrive at the conference.

South Campus Plaza rooms on campus cost $159.00 per night for a single-room occupancy. The rooms are large and have extralong twin beds, desk, chair, dresser, wardrobe, WIFI, minifridge, microwave, and bathroom.
