Please Note: The room block at the Tempe Mission Palms has been filled. However, it is possible that a few rooms will become available if there are cancellations. If you do not have a room and would like to get one at the main hotel if more become available, please give the hotel a call and get your name on the waiting list.

In the meantime, because even if more rooms become available we will still fill up the convention hotel, we have made arrangements for an overflow hotel at the Marriott Courtyard Tempe Downtown. Please see the information below the convention hotel section for the overflow hotel website and booking code.

The online booking system of the Tempe Mission Palms is ready to handle booking reservations for the convention at http://www.missionpalms.com. Once you get to the Reservations page, use the group booking code of 2TC4Y9. If the box for the group code is not visible, click on the "+" next to "Enter Rate Access Code". Please note that the room rate of $128.75 shown is the room rate of $119 per night plus the Hospitality Fee of $9.75. When you select your choice of dates and the total cost of the room is shown, the line indicating an extra cost for 'Fees' should be ignored since it will be subtracted from the total cost of the room.

Testimonials

Charles N. Brown - 'Editorial Matters,' Locus, June 2006, p. 83

"The Nebula weekend this year was excellent -- mostly because of the hotel. This is the second major con we've been to at the Mission Palms (WFC 2004) and it's the perfect location, with its courtyard inside and outside bar area, large swimming pool with room for social events, many rooms, etc. -- and great weather most of the year. It's in the middle of the University of Arizona [sic]* with all the liveliness, restaurants, shopping, and sheer energy of a major college town. It also has a major airport only ten minutes away! Perhaps (hint) it could become a permanent con hotel for several conventions.'

*Actually Arizona State University.

The Tempe Mission Palms was also host to the 2006 Nebula Awards, 2004 World Fantasy, CopperCon 26, and will be hosting the 2009 Westercon.
