-
All hotel reservations will require an advance deposit equal to one night’s rate plus taxes. Please CLICK HERE if you have been charged the deposit and wish to request a receipt. Please allow the hotel 24-72 hours to send the receipt to you. If you do not receive it after that time, please email info@sreconference.com.

Beware of Sleeping Room Wholesalers
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Don't get lured in. Sleeping room wholesalers have contacted attendees offering great deals on hotels for the NMHC Student Housing Conference. While it is not illegal for a travel firm or booking agent to solicit potential customers, it can be difficult to determine the legitimacy of offers from these organizations. Those who opt for alternatives to the NMHC negotiated rates may find themselves at risk. NMHC reminds its attendees that we have no affiliation with any of these room brokers.
Full Reservation Cancellations
Reservations can be fully cancelled without penalty on or before September 6, 2024. Any full reservation cancellations requested after September 6, 2024, will forfeit the advance deposit equal to one night's room rate and tax. Once your request is cancelled you will receive a cancellation confirmation email. All hotel cancellation requests must be emailed to info@sreconference.com.

- Name changes to reservations must be requested via email to info@sreconference.com at least 7 days prior to arrival. You will receive an updated confirmation with your change once the reservation is updated.
- Any reservation date changes must be emailed to info@sreconference.com at least 72 hours prior to your confirmed arrival date to avoid penalties. Any changes to your arrival and departure date are subject to availability at the time of your change request. Otherwise, additional room and tax penalties will apply and will be charged to the card on file. It is recommended to request additional nights prior to September 3rd to guarantee group rate. You will receive an updated confirmation with your change once the reservation is updated.
