Local Accomodations

*NOTE: Please contact me (jennsbl at cs dot cmu dot edu) to assist with room reservations if you wish as we have negotiated prices for visitors to Carnegie Mellon. I did not reserve a room block at any particular hotel as it will not be a large enough group to warrant pricing better than our standard negotiated rate.
