21. Housing for the week:
Please select your desired housing for the week from the three available options shown below. Remember that if you are selecting single- or double-occupancy for the week, your room could be in either of the two event hotels, the Holiday Inn or the Gray Wolf Inn and Suites. The rooms used for this purpose in each hotel are quite comparable in every respect. They have either two queen beds or one king bed, a flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, microwave, a coffee maker, free Wi-Fi and free parking. The Holiday Inn also has a few "family rooms" containing three queen beds and the same amenities as other rooms, which will be used for triple-occupancy.

Applicants will not be assigned to one property versus the other until after most applications have been received and accepted applicants have paid. Those accepted applicants who applied earliest will in most cases be assigned to the Holiday Inn, although if the applicant has a preference for the Gray Wolf he/she may so indicate below in the event application. So please remember that an applicant's room for the week could be in either hotel and applicants may not know to which hotel they have been assigned until about December 15, when those applicants assigned to the Gray Wolf Inn and suites will be so notified.
