Why Stay In the Hotel

Staying in the hotel is much more convenient, and helps to keep the convention's cost for the facility (which determines the prices charged for admission and the table rental cost) low. As important, you don't have to drive to get from your room to the meet, or if you need something in your room, make a round trip by car from the meet to your room and back again. Lastly, once parked (all parking is free), your parking worries are over unless you go out for a meal or for layout visits.

How to Reserve Your Room

For reservations just call the Hyatt Regency's telephone number 800-233-1234 or use the hotel's on-line link. Be sure to ask for the 2010 O Scale National Convention rate. The fax number is 408-980-3939 if you need to fax any documentation. A deposit of one night's lodging is required.

Reservations Help

If you have any difficulties at all with your room reservation please call Bob Plageman at 650-349-1496 or Niel Chichizola at 650-591-4136.

Regency Club

The Regency Club room rate is $145 for a Regency King or a Regency Double. You might want to consider this level of room because some meals are included in the room charge which, depending upon your eating patterns, may cost you less than staying in a regular room at $109 and paying for meals in the hotel restaurant.

Parking

There is no charge for do-it-yourself parking. There is a DIY lot in front of the hotel and a multi-level garage behind the hotel. If you wish to use valet parking, there is a $5 per car charge.

Porterage

The hotel offers assistance with luggage pick-up, delivery, and storage. The charge per person per round trip is $4.

Shipping Items to Yourself at the Hotel

If you are staying at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara (highly recommended), you can ship parcels to yourself there; the hotel charge to receive the parcels and deliver them to you is extremely reasonable. The per box charge for the hotel to receive boxes weighing less than 50 pounds is $2; if the box weighs more than 50 pounds, the charge is negotiated.

Please time your shipments so your boxes arrive at the hotel no earlier than June 28.

To ship to yourself at the hotel, please mark your boxes as follows:

Hold for Arrival - ATTN: your name - O Scale National Convention
Complete return address identified as such
Mary Vu
Number of boxes, e.g., Box 1 of 2 and Box 2 of 2
Address the package(s) as follows:

Hyatt Regency Santa Clara
5101 Great American Parkway
Santa Clara, CA 95054

At the conclusion of the convention, by pre-arrangement made one week in advance, the hotel will ship boxes for you at the same rate (plus the carrier's charge); the charges will be billed to your room. Note that there is a UPS Store adjacent to the ballroom.
