The official conference hotel is the Marriott Los Angeles Burbank Airport Hotel.  The hotel and convention center is an easily accessible, comfortable venue in which to hold an event like Jamboree. 

Sessions in the Convention Center and the Hotel.  We have booked the entire convention center, as well as the City Ballroom in the main hotel, throughout the entire Jamboree weekend.  Again in 2011, we will have 300 more seats with the addition of the Jamboree Pavilion which will be located behind the Convention Center building. With 2010's experience behind us, we expect the Pavilion to be much more comfortable and pleasant in 2011. 

Hotel Room Rates.  We have negotiated a discounted room rate for Jamboree:  $155 per night single or double occupancy, $170 for three occupants and $185 for four guests.  The discounted room rate is in effect for June 7 through June 13, 2011 (depending on availability). You may find that the hotel's website offers even lower rates for AAA, senior, or leisure guests. If you book one of these lower rates, please email your name and confirmation number to jamboree@scgsgenealogy.com. Also please contact us if you are looking for a roommate.

Hotel Reservation Deadline.  Make your reservations early – no later than May 9, 2011 – to take advantage of the discounted rate.  Reservations depend on availability.  Reserve your room online (above) or by phone at 800-736-9712 and mention the Jamboree code GENGENA. 

Food and Refreshments.

1. Food at the Marriott:  Sandwiches, beverages, salads, soft drinks and snacks will be available at the Day Bar in the main hotel. You'll find concession sales in the Convention Center at lunch time all three days, as well as coffee in the morning. If you’d rather enjoy a relaxing meal, visit the Daily Grill. Guests of the Marriott can order room service and retreat to their rooms for some peace and quiet.


2. Food within Walking Distance:  If you’re in the mood for a stretch break and a quick bite, you’re in luck.  The food court across the street offers a variety of quick meals, including McDonald’s, Del Taco, Denney’s, Subway, and Panda Express, SanSai Japanese Restaurant, and a Greek restaurant.  It's about a one-block walk from the Marriott – just enough to stretch your legs during the lunch break.


3. Food within Driving Distance:  The hotel is just minutes away from the Media Center and the Empire Mall in Burbank, but you will want to drive.  Here are directions to Empire Mall and Media Center.  You’ll find any number of great restaurants within just a few minutes of the Marriott.  You’ll find a list of our favorites here. 

Parking.  Jamboree attendees will receive discounted parking at $10 per day.  All parking customers, daily parkers as well as overnight guests, will be permitted in-and-out access.  Overflow parking will be available and maps and instructions will be available prior to June 2011. You may also want to explore parking at one of the neighboring commercial lots that surround the Burbank airport.  Here is a map showing the nearby parking lots.  All of the lots offer shuttle service to and from the airport, so if you want to save steps, you can go to the airport and then catch the Marriott shuttle to the hotel.

Drop-off and Pickup – Free!  There is a 15-minute grace period on parking costs, so if a driver is dropping off someone at the Marriott and then leaving, they will not need to pay for parking within the first 15 minutes.

Map and Directions to the Hotel.  Directions to the Marriott can be found here. 

Conference Room Temperature.  As is often the case with hotel conference rooms, the meeting room temperature can vary from room to room and from hour to hour. The Marriott staff is very diligent in trying to keep the temperatures comfortable, but it is all but impossible to maintain consistent temperatures.  We strongly suggest that you dress in layers and bring a sweater in case you happen to find yourself in a cooler room.

Handicap Access.  All conference rooms are handicapped-accessible and are located on one floor. The hotel has a limited number of handicap parking slots. We will have a special area, in the first row directly to the east of the Convention Center, reserved for handicap parking.

The Marriott is a smoke-free facility.  High-speed Internet access is available in the lodging rooms for an additional fee.  The hotel has two outdoor swimming pools and a fitness area.

Conference etiquette.  Please avoid wearing perfume, cologne, or other scents.  Your fellow attendees -- especially those with allergies -- will be very grateful.

Other Nearby Hotels. If you prefer to stay at another nearby hotel, you will find several choices. You can click on one of the red balloons to find the name and contact information for the hotel. Those who walk for exercise will find the terrain flat and easy to get around. However, most Jamboree guests may prefer to drive to and from one of the outer hotels.
