This year, to help all contestants, ComBots Cup VI has an official hotel - the Crown Plaza - very close to the venue. There are lots of benefits:
- Discounted room rate is only $89.00/night! $20 less than last year!
- Free pick-up at the airport and return to the airport after the event (call 650-570-5700 or 888-233-9527 when you arrive to get a lift from the airport)
- A FREE shuttle bus between the hotel and the venue each day (Fri-Sun). Four runs in the morning and four each evening of up to 21 people per bus (so you don't need to rent a car.)
- Multi-room suites are available - these suites are big enough to sleep several people.
- $15.00 breakfast buffet, inclusive of tax and tip, for all RoboGames people staying at the hotel.
- In-hotel restaurants, cocktail lounge, and full sports bar (which will feature RG highlights each night!)
Several other hotels are available in the area for you to stay at if you would like more choices, but do not include the above mentioned shuttles, restuarants, etc. Mention "RoboGames" in all cases to get the special rate:
