Need a hotel room the weekend of the Boston Marathon?

Are you coming from out-of-town and need a hotel room the weekend of the Boston Marathon?

Team Eye and Ear has a hold on 14 room at the Westin Waterfront hotel until February 15th, through marathon tours. Since the weekend of the Boston Marathon is a busy one in Boston (not only the marathon, but also the Olympic trials), it may be hard to find a hotel room otherwise.

The hotel is about 2 miles away from the Boston Marathon finish line and is accessible by public trans

To reserve one of these rooms, please e-mail Cliff Jennings of Marathon Tours at cliff@marathontours.com, tell him that you are part of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary team block and give him the following information:
● arrival and departure dates (2 night minimum)
● complete mailing address, and daytime phone
● room type (one or two beds)
● credit card with expiry to guarantee the room (must expire after 4/08)
● number of persons (adults and/or kids) in the room with all adults names
Westin Waterfront $219 per person double occupancy
● tax of 12.45% is additional

If interested in this option, I would suggest emailing Cliff ASAP, as we were only able to get a block of 15 rooms and they are only on hold until February 15th.
