Reservations at the discounted conference rate should be made by calling 321-773-9260. When you make your reservation, be sure to
tell the reservation desk that you are coming for CO3. The
conference promotional
rate is $154.99 + tax per night. The hotel holds a limited
number of rooms at that rate and these are "first come, first serve" so

want to take advantage of this if you decide to extend your stay in
Florida.
