CONADIAN HOTEL INFORMATION
 
Note the following information about the headings below:
 
Hotel Name and Rooms Blocked:  With a few exceptions, there are more rooms
 in this hotel than we have blocked, and if necessary, we can expand our
 block there.  For instance, we've only blocked 200 of the 408 rooms in the
 Holiday Inn, and while we can't book _all_ the rooms, if there is sufficient
 demand, we'll go back to our hotels and ask for more rooms.
 
Room Rates: Rates are in Canadian dollars.  For a rule-of-thumb conversion
 to US dollars, subtract 25%.  Room rates do not include the 7% Provincial
 Sales Tax and 7% Goods & Services Tax (total 14% room taxes).  If you're
 coming from outside Canada, obtain a GST/PST refund form from your hotel.
 After you get home, send in the refund form along with your hotel receipts
 (and any other receipts for tangible goods you bought in Canada and took out
 of Canada--sorry, meals don't count, but sales-to-members merchandise does).
 After processing the form, the Canadian government will send you a check
 (for US residents) drawn in US funds on a US bank refunding the tax you
paid.
 
Parking Rates: This is how much it will cost you, per day, to park your car
 in the hotel garage or parking lot.  If "free", parking is included in the
 room rate.
 
Room types:  Sgl=Single=1 person/1 bed.  Double=2 people/1 bed.  Twin=2
 people/2 beds.  D/T=Double/Twin have same rate.  Trpl=Triple=3 people/2
 beds.  Quad=4 people/2 beds.
 
Credit Cards: AMEX=American Express. MCVI=MasterCard & Visa. DCER=Diners
 Club/En Route.  DISC=Discover.
 
NonSmoking/Handicap'd Rooms:  The number marked "n/s" is how many non-
 smoking rooms are available.  The number marked "h/a" is how many specially-
 equipped handicapped-accessible rooms are available.
 
Hospitality Areas: The Place Louis Riel and the Sheraton are designated as
 "Hospitality Areas" for specific groups such as Worldcon bidders and other
 theme groups to host their hospitality presentations.
 
[The hotel industry is increasingly reluctant to use the word "party,"
because it conjures up images of massive destruction to hotel property.
What SF fans generally call a party is not the same thing the hotels think
of when we use the term; therefore, we can't call these hotels "party
hotels."  The thing you host in your hotel room to promote your
bid/con/club/whatever is a "hospitality function" in a "hospitality hotel."]
 
Due to the layout of these hotels, these hospitality functions are spread
out through various floors of the hotels.  Because of the resulting traffic
and converstation spill-over, these hotels cannot be designated "quiet,"
although we will attempt to establish "quiet floors" in them.
 
Quiet Hotels:  The Carlton Inn and the Quality Inn have been designated as
 official Quiet Hotels.  The Carlton is where many of the ConAdian staff will
 be staying.  The Quality Inn's building is shared with a senior's residence.
 If you plan to have a lot of your friends visiting your room for coffee,
 conversation, etc., you'd best not book your rooms here.  [Also note that
 most hospitality functions are going to be in the Sheraton and the PLR; if
 you insist on holding a gathering in any other hotel, we may not be able to
 protect you from the hotels.]
