HOTEL/HOUSING -

When you register, there will be an option for you to receive information on FREE HOUSING.
The reality of San Diego is that very few FREE HOUSING spots are available and they are given away as registration payments are received.
Your best option is to use the hotel below or put a post on our local forum:  www.SwingORama.com

You may want to look for other rates for hotels on any of the numerous website booking sites.
Best location to get to all events is MISSION VALLEY/HOTEL CIRCLE area.
