MAIN CONFERENCE LODGING
 |
The
Headlands Institute is the main lodging for the 2006 MRA
Conference. If you selected the registration option “with
lodging” you will be staying at the Headlands Institute.
Lodging will be available Wed. - Sat. night, and will
include all meals; breakfast, lunch and dinner (beginning
with Wed. dinner ending with Sun. breakfast) which will
be provided by The Headland's Institute, cafeteria style.
Headlands Institute |
Nestled on Rodeo Beach in 180,000 acres of beach front park
land, it is hard to believe the Headlands Institute is just
20 minutes from downtown San Francisco, 40 minutes from the
San Francisco Airport and 40 minutes from Oakland. The Headlands
Institute is our conference location and housing option for
the 2006 MRA Conference, offering pleasantly rustic accommodations.
See the rooms. Most groups sleep
in the women's or men's dorms which are heated, carpeted and
have shared bathrooms. There are limited numbers of Semi-Private
rooms (a $10 per person additional fee) which also have shared
bathrooms but, unlike the dorms, sleep 4 or 6 to a room.
While guests are expected to bring their own linens (including
towels, sheets, blankets and pillows), the Headlands Institute
does operate a limited linen rental at $25 set (including
a bottom sheet, sleeping bag, pillow and pillow case).
For teams that want a little more privacy, the Raven Dorm
(which sleeps 56) has a conference room, dorm accommodations,
and 4 semi-private rooms all in one.
NEARBY HOTELS
A few of the nearby hotels are offering room blocks and a
discount for the 2006 MRA Conference. You must arrange your
own lodging with the hotels directly. Please remember to tell
the hotel that you are with the 2006 MRA Conference in order
to receive the special promotional rate. You must mention
that you are with the conference at the time of reservation
in order to receive the promotional rate. We advise arranging
lodging as soon as you can as the Bay Area in the summer is
a great time for tourists – as you will see why!
Mill Valley and Sausalito are the closest cities near the
Headlands Institute. Corte Madera and Larkspur are just another
5-10 minute drive North on Hwy. 101. You might also wish to
stay in the city in Nob Hill or North Beach…just a short
drive South over the Golden Gate Bridge.
