HOTEL INFORMATION WESTIN GASLAMP QUARTER, DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO, APRIL 8-11 2009
The 2009 Annual Meeting will take place at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego at 910 Broadway Circle, 92101. [Please note there is also another Westin hotel on Broadway. Thos is the Westin San Diego on West Broadway. That Westin is NOT the site of the PSA conference. ]
At the PSA hotel, Westin Gaslamp Quarter, you are steps away from San Diego's historic and vibrant Gaslamp Quarter, featuring fine shopping, restaurants, entertainment and culture. There are overt 125 restaurants and nightclubs in the Quarter. The hotel is located just blocks from Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres baseball team. In addition, the hotel is just outside the Horton Plaza Shopping Center, which features 187 shops and a variety of restaurants.
The hotel’s 450 guest rooms have soothing color palettes and striking city and bay views. Sleeping rooms come with the Westin Heavenly Bed®, pleasant sitting area, flat-screen TV, and spa-like bath amenities. The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool and whirlpool, 24-hour fitness center, and Horton’s Bar and Grill and the Café San Diego.
Support the PSA by booking at the Westin. This will assure that your Association meets its sleeping room contract and will keep convention costs low, since thousands of dollars in meeting room rental will not have to be paid to the Westin. Not meeting the psa “room block” would have serious financial consequences and would most likely increase the cost of registration at future meetings.
The PSA 2009 Convention Rate is $149 single or double plus occupancy tax (12.565%). Reservations can be made online at starwoodmeeting.com/book/psa09 or by calling 1-800-937-8461 or the hotel directly at 610-619-8912. Please ask for the psa convention rate. ALL RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY MARCH 8, 2009 in order to be eligible to receive the psa rate. However please note that the psa discounted room block could easily sell out before the March 8th deadline; if so the hotel may still have rooms both before and after this date, but at a rate-available basis.
Please Note: Upon your arrival at The Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego your departure date will be confirmed. There is a $75.00 fee for departing prior to the confirmed date.
