Lodging

The IAFF is providing a list of hotels that are now offering special discounts to all the IAFF members attending the Memorial Service between September 8-12, 2010.

Attendees need to call hotels directly to make reservations and must mention the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial to receive special rates at these hotels. Discounted rooms are available on first come, first served basis.

All rates quoted were valid at the time contact was established with the hotel. The IAFF is not able to guarantee the rates or contact the hotel on behalf of an individual. It is recommended that you contact the hotel immediately in order to confirm lodging. It is also recommended that you confirm your room rate for all nights you are booking, since the hotels commonly have different rates throughout the week.

When making your hotel reservations, you must request rooms within the block for the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial to ensure you receive the quoted rate.

• The IAFF will provide shuttles from the Crowne Plaza, Double Tree, Comfort Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, La Quinta and Residence Inn to and from the Ceremony on Saturday.

• The IAFF will assist all families with other transportation needs, such as sight seeing, from the Crowne Plaza hotel only. Such transportation needs are arranged through the IAFF Transportation Center at the Registration Area in the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
