The Best Reasons to Stay at the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina

Besides the great room rate and great locations, enjoy the benefit of...

Supporting the Society and Keeping Registration Fees Down

When you stay at the headquarter hotel, the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, you are supporting the Society. We must sign contracts with hotels in order to get a good rate at the convention center. If we don’t fill our room blocks we are charged fines and then are charged more for the meeting rooms in future years, because we can’t show other cities how we can fill our rooms. Sound like a circle? It is. For every room that attendees stay in within the SPSP block, we get “credit” by the hotel and convention center. Not only does it help this year, but it helps next year and the year after, as this history follows us wherever we go. When we get this “credit” we return the favor by keeping registration costs as low as possible and it also allows us to consider really fun cities!

Convenience

When you stay at the meeting hotel, you have the convenience of being very close to the meeting space and very close to your colleagues who are also staying at the meeting hotel. When searching for the right hotels for SPSP, we look for hotels with open bar and seating areas, so that you can easily meet up with your friends and colleagues after the sessions are done for the day. One of the biggest benefits of attending the SPSP meeting is the professional networking opportunities. Don’t miss out by staying elsewhere. Come morning, you are just steps away from your first session. And if you need a break after a stimulating series of talks, your room and your bed are within easy reach. To make life even easier for hotel guests, the Marriott Marquis offers free transportation to the convention center from the hotel.
