Marriott Page - We have arranged for a block of rooms for attendees at the Quality Inn which is next door to the Marriott (easy walking distance, even closer than the Hilton). Single & double rooms are available at the convention rate of $99 per night; for triple & quad add $10 per person. All rooms in the Quality Inn are "quiet rooms" and we've blocked mostly non-smoking doubles. The number to call for the Quality Inn is 800-231-6215 or 714-750-3131. Please refer to either North American Science Fiction Convention or NASFiC when making a room reservation.
28-Jul-1999
Marriott Page - As of 28-Jul-1999, our room block is Full. In fact, we have over-filled our block by at least 20%, and the hotel is completely sold out on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights. We are looking into nearby facilities for overflow. A note to keep in mind, when you're looking for potential rooms: look for Anaheim 92802 (or ask the hotel if they have a free shuttle bus to Disneyland).
