Thanks Fred, but according to that webpage, the UNB Summer Hotel is closed for 2023.

Hi Aris,

I hadn't realized until the day I posted the event information that the UNB Summer Hotel was closed for individual travelers this year. I'm looking into arranging a room block for the event. I'll poste here when I have more information.

Thanks Jason. The closer the better, but I have a car, and am willing to drive.
