Rooms at the following hotels have been reserved at a special Mason discounted rate for the conference. Because only a limited number of rooms have been reserved for the conference, it would be best if participants would reserve their rooms as soon as possible. If the blocks of rooms fill up early, the hotels may provide us with additional rooms at the same rate. Both hotels offer complementary high-speed internet access.

Travelling between hotels and campus
When driving the 4 miles between the conference hotels and the GMU Fairfax campus, it is best to use 620 (Braddock Road) and 665 (called Shirley Gate between Braddock Rd & Lee Hwy; called Waples Mill north of Lee Hwy). One can enter the Fair Oaks Courtyard parking lot directly from Waples Mill, just north of Fairfax Blvd. The Comfort Inn is on the north side of Main St (also called Fairfax Blvd.), one block east of Waples Mill.
The Cue bus connects the Vienna metro station, the hotels, and the GMU Fairfax campus. Click here for Cue bus map and schedules.
