We have reached agreements with two hotels to provide discounted rates for the conference attendees. These hotels are nice and affordable and conveniently located between the Miami International Airport and FIU. Furthermore, we provide free shuttle bus service between these hotels and FIU to transport conference attendees. In addition, there are a lot of attractions within 20 miles which include Bayside Marketplace, Everglades Nat'l Park, Metro Zoo, Miami & South Beaches, Miami Seaquarium, Monkey Jungle and Parrot Jungle Island.

1. Conference participants should make reservations directly with the hotels. Please mention conference name ICATPN05 for the special conference rates.

2. American hotel rooms are spacious. You can ask either a single king-size bed or 2 double beds (each double bed can fit two people) for the same conference rate. Thus a single room with 2 double beds will fit a family of 4 comfortably, or can be shared by two people nicely. You can also add a rollaway (a temporary bed) for an additional $8 - $10 in your room to accommodate an additional person.

Please send us an email atpn2005@cs.fiu.edu to let us know which hotel you have made your reservation and whether you will ride the shuttle bus so that we can better provide the transporation service.
