- ASERL’s discount room rate is $159/night, excluding taxes and fees. Reservations must be made by November 6, 2023 to receive this discount.
- The hotel & campus are equidistant from the Orlando (MCO) and Sanford (SFB) airports — approximately 30-40 minutes by car from either landing spot. Some locals have a preference for SFB, as it is smaller, easier to navigate than the big tourist hub at MCO.
- The Celeste Hotel does not provide an airport shuttle service. Sorry! Participants will need to make their own ground transportation arrangements.
- The host hotel is adjacent to campus, approximately an 8-10 minute walk to the library where our meetings will take place. On-campus transportation (golf carts) can be arranged if needed — please contact John Burger if needed.
