Silver Cloud Inn

A block of guest rooms has been secured at the Silver Cloud Inn University District, with a special rate for PyAstro 2016 Conference attendees. Here is a map and directions to the Silver Cloud, which is located at 5036 25th Avenue NE, Seattle WA 98105.

The Silver Cloud is located 1.3 miles from the conference site, and near to many restaurants and shops in the University Village shopping center. The easiest way to get to and from the conference is to take the complementary hotel shuttle or to rent a bike from the Pronto bikeshare, which has a location just around the corner from the hotel, and a couple sites close to the eScience Institute. The Burke-Gilman bike trail will take you between destinations.

BUDGET OPTION: The College Inn

Another possibility for lodging is the College Inn, which is "European Style" (shared bathrooms), with prices ranging from $60-$90/night depending on number of beds. There is no special rate or reserved room block for the conference, so these rooms are available simply on a first-come-first-served basis. Conveniently, the College Inn's location is only a 4 minute walk from the conference site. It is close to many restaurants on University Avenue, and only a few blocks from the U District Light Link Rail stop.
