We are excited to be able to meet and celebrate 31 years of the Spring Conference! There are a few things to know and do regarding the hotel and conference:
HOTEL INFORMATION:
- The Conference Center is to the right of the main hotel entrance or center entrance of the “circle” drive as you are facing the ocean.
- Parking is available in the garage across the street or there is on-street parking. If staying at the hotel, when checking in you can park in the “circle” or in the garage across the street. There is limited space in the “circle” so please be aware.
- There are 2 towers to the hotel so make sure you clarify with the front desk which side you are on. Due to the number and style of rooms, everyone is unable to be accommodated on the conference side.
- An indoor lazy river and hot tub will be open during your stay.
- Hotel restaurants are the Square Whale (sandwiches, pizza, etc) and Isle of Capri (Italian inspired and only open for dinner; reservations recommended). There are several restaurants within walking distance.

- Please be mindful that each person’s “perfect” temperature is different. We will do our best to have the rooms set at a comfortable level, but dress accordingly and bring a jacket/sweater/short sleeve/long sleeve/etc. Remember, we live in Virginia, it can go from winter to summer and back to winter all in the same day.
