Hotel Pricing

Your core convention registration includes four nights at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino arriving on Thursday, September 7 and departing on Monday, September 11. 

Please make your reservations for the convention nights and any others on your own through this link. Be sure to adjust the nights of your stay to only those you want (September 7-11 for the core convention).

A special per night rate of 189 USD + fees and taxes is available for the three nights before and after the convention based on availability. You will be asked for a credit card number to hold your reservation to cover any incidentals, but you will not be charged for the four nights of the convention (September 7-11). You will be charged for any nights outside of the core convention dates.

Do not make a reservation through any links other than those provided by SATW, as you may be charged incorrectly.
