The Embassy Suites, easily accessible from Exit 83 on I-540, is able to offer beautiful space to accommodate all of our meeting needs. The Embassy Suites has offered us the special rate of $109 per night for single, double, triple or quad rooms.

The hotel also offers an indoor heated pool, whirlpool, sauna, sun deck, and a state-of-the-art fitness center for your convenience.

We sincerely hope this move does not inconvenience you in any way.
