Thanks to a contact of a fellow SouthFlorida.pm-er, it looks like the DoubleTree Guest Suites will be giving YAPC goers a special rate. It will be $59 for a suite (bedroom, living room). Rooms can have double beds, and the living room will have a sleeper-sofa. So, about $20 per-person (plus tax) to have 3 stay in a room. Not bad. Plus, they provide breakfast (and so will YAPC), and have a Happy Hour from 5:30-7pm. AND, they will provide a shuttle service to FAU and places within 5 miles of the hotel (like the beach). AND! They have wireless access at the hotel. So, you can sit at the pool and hack. There is a charge for the wireless ($10, I think), but it could possibly be thrown in for free. DoubleTree also works with the Hilton HHoners program. So, seems like a pretty good deal. I'll get some info on the YAPC::America site within the next few days. I want to make sure they have "Perl Conference" or something in their system for when people call to book.
Oh, and they give you some yummy cookies! This is a great alternative to the dorms, especially if you bring family.
