Hotel Information

The Hyatt Regency has offered a special rate of $119 for 1-4 persons in a room.   Rates are extended several nights before and after the tournament if you want to stay in town and do some last minute holiday shopping at the Mall of America.

Also we are having the  2nd Annual “Diversity and Inclusion: In debate and the classroom” conference on Monday December 18, 2017.  More details to follow.

Below is the online link for guests to make their sleeping room reservations directly on-line.

Hotel Fee - We need to have teams stay at the Hyatt to meet our agreement with the Hyatt.  There is a $100 hotel fee attached to each tournament invoice - after you reserve your rooms please contact Shane Stafford and we can remove that hotel fee if you stay in the Hyatt.

The parking ramp adjacent to the Hyatt is city owned and is expensive.  It cannot accommodate large vans or buses.  If you want cheaper parking or have a large van, there is a parking lot a block from the hotel that has better rates.  We can also arrange buses to be parked near Blake Upper School which is only 5 minute car ride.
