AN ALTERNATIVE TO A HOTEL

An E-zine reader writes, “I don't know if it's too late to mention, but for anyone who can't afford a hotel, there is a youth hostel in Hartford. It's part of the Hostelling International USA network. A bed for a member is something like $23 a night and for non-members a few dollars more. I'm booked in there myself as I have been a member for forty years and always stay in hostels when I am on a research trip.

See http://hiusa.org and select CONNECTICUT and the Hartford from the menu options. The hostel is a couple of miles from the conference center.”
