        Lodging

        Here is the scoop about nearby lodging. We are trying to get government rates at the Hotel Durant and also block some rooms for the 10/20 meeting. Prices for most of these hotels range from $80-150/night.

        1. Hotel Durant, Berkeley 510-845-8981
        2. Berkeley Marina Marriott, Berkeley 510-548-7920
        3. Claremont Resort Hotel & Tennis Club, Oakland 510-843-3000
        4. Days Inn Hotel, Emeryville 510-547-7888

        6. Shattuck Hotel, Berkeley 510-845-7300

        Directions

        If you are driving, the Blackberry Canyon Gate will be the most convenient entrance and where you will receive directions to the meeting and parking.

        Airports

        • San Francisco International Airport
        • Oakland International Airport

        Transportation

        Since this is such a beautiful location with lots of places to explore, I recommend renting a car. Taxi service from San Francisco or Oakland airports to Berkeley range from $45-$60 for 1-5 persons. There will be no shuttle service directly from the hotels to the Berkeley Lab. Buses run frequently from downtown Berkeley to the Lab, but that can be time consuming. Please contact Elizabeth Saucier if you will need transportation.

        If you need assistance at anytime after you arrive in the San Francisco area, please feel free to call Elizabeth Saucier at home (510) 653-6050.

        Gate Clearance

        Gate clearance will be arranged for everyone attending the October 20 meeting. Contact Elizabeth Saucier with the list of those who will be attending from your facility.

        ALS Open House

        Berkeley Lab will host ALS Open House festivities for Saturday, October 18. Please note that no vehicles will be allowed on site that day except for shuttle buses.
