Hotels:
February is usually an amazing time to visit St George and escape the winter. And a lot of people in northern Utah know that… Hotel availability can be tough to find and tend to be marked up for the high-season. DSU does have some blocks of rooms set aside at fairly discounted rates. It is recommended to reserve early, regardless of where you stay, because it is a busy time for this area and hotels fill quickly (that weekend is also the Parade of Homes, and multiple soccer and softball tournaments).
DSU set aside about 150 rooms for Thursday and Friday nights (Feb 24 and 25) for UCUR attendees, and you can take advantage of that block until January 10. After January 10, rooms that were not reserved will be opened to the public. The two hotels with blocked rooms that you can reserve are:
Best Western Plus Abbey Inn – $129/night BOOK HERE
Best Western Coral Hills – $109/night BOOK HERE
Conference Parking:
DSU will be blocking off a parking area for cars for those that drive themselves. The conference location on the DSU campus will have plenty of room for buses to drop-off/pick-up next to the academic buildings, and we will provide info on where the buses can park during the conference.
