I'm out of the office today, I'll check each of the hotels within walking distance personally on Thursday to see if they have free high speed internet access. I know that you can walk from La Quinta, Fairfield (11201 N. Mopac Expressway AUSTIN, TX 78759) and Wessesley Inn (http://www.wellesleyinnandsuites.com/hotels/hfac.shtml), The Fairfield has free internet access as I see the sign everyday I pass by the hotel. All other hotels are not in walking distance (due to no side walks).

There is also a Fry's Electronics (large one) Store about a mile north of IBM.

Anthony,

Do you mean the Marriott Fairfield at 959 Reinli Street AUSTIN, TX 78751 or at 4525 South Interstate Hwy 35 AUSTIN, TX 78744 ?

According to Marriott website neither of these have high speed internet access.

However, the Fairfield hotel at 11201 N. Mopac Expressway AUSTIN, TX 78759 does have high speed access ?

It seems that a lot of people don't plan to hire a car and need to walk to IBM offices, so maybe if we cannot find a good hotel (with high speed internet) within walking distance a kind person/persons with a car can collect us from a hotel in the morning and take us to the IBM office ?

Thanks, Tim.

Ahh, walking may be hard as there are highways around the complex, but LaQuinta and Fairfield Inn (Austin Northwest) are in walking distance and the Fairfield (as other Marriotts, like Scott indicates an note below that offer internet access is free). The Fairfield Inn is new, so that should be OK, also there is the wellesley inn that is close, but don't know if they offer free internet access like Marriott (http://www.wellesleyinnandsuites.com/hotels/hfac.shtml). So there are 3 hotels within walking distance.

I will try to offer internet access during the meeting but not sure that will happen yet.

From Marriott site:

Now, you can stay connected faster and easier with FREE high-speed Internet access right in your guestroom. Available at participating Courtyards, Residence Inns, SpringHill Suites, and TownePlace Suites, this free service keeps you connected while you’re away from home. Using the search on the left, find a hotel of your choice. At Marriott, we give a new meaning to traveling with ease.

Any more specific guidance as to hotels? Several of the hotel links off the IBM research visitors page are broken. I'm looking for my usual: within 10-15 minutes walk, high speed Internet, and a few other SSTC folks staying there :-)

And yes, add me to your head count and badge list...

Here is the web site that contains directions from the airport and hotels in the area. There are several hotels within a 1/4 mile and the rest are within a mile. There are several places to eat close by, there is a brew pub also close by. We will be in building 901 (see link on web page below for Austin Site Map). If you need any additional information please contact me. Also I will need a final head count along with names so I can have badges made up, as you will have to register in building 904 and then proceed to building 901. Also we will provide coffee in the AM and lunch at NOON, so if anyone has any diet restrictions please let me know ASAP so I can request special meals.

If folks are interested in a BBQ diner one night there is the Salt Lick (www.saltlickbbq.com) and its family style all you can eat ($13.95) and BYOB, its about 45 minutes away but worth the ride out in the country.
