Staying Overnight?

Staying Overnight for Your Class?

Convenience and Comfort:  If you’re traveling to a class and staying overnight, staying at the same location where it’s held can be very convenient. We prioritize booking classes at business travel hotels that offer a comfortable and affordable experience. These hotels are often grouped close to other similar properties, so if you don’t find a room at the hotel where the class is being held, there should be other good options nearby.

Room Booking:  For weekend classes (excluding special events such as Success School & Education Vacations), we typically don’t arrange room blocks. Room block rates (if available) expire a few weeks before the event. Consider booking directly with the hotel for more flexibility and service compared to third-party sites.

Finding the Best Rate: Check directly with the hotel for any discounts. Explore popular travel websites like hotels.com, trivago.com, expedia.com, etc. for deals. Check rates at other nearby hotels.

Confirmation Reminder:  Enrolled students will receive an email reminder 7-10 days before the class with the confirmed location details.

We hope this information helps you plan your comfortable and convenient stay for your class!
