ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grand Rapids will be bustling that weekend thanks to Art Prize (a major public art event).  For anyone who may need a hotel room, we urge you once again to reserve as early as possible since many hotels will fill to capacity during Art Prize.

We have reserved blocks of rooms at two hotels:

Hilton Garden Inn (brand new and closest to EGR):
2321 East Beltline Ave.
(616) 608 8800
The deadline has passed for reserving at our discounted reunion rate, but feel free to inquire about AAA member discounts, etc.

Hawthorne Suites by Wyndham (formerly a Residence Inn; near Woodland Mall):
2701 East Beltline Ave.
(616) 957 8111
Room Block name:  EGR Class of ’88 Reunion
Discounted rate:  $99 + taxes 
(unreserved rooms in our block will be released on Friday, September 7!)

Most of the gallery venues for Art Prize are downtown.  We weren't able to secure a block of rooms at a downtown hotel, but feel free to search yourself if you prefer to stay in the middle of the action.
