Lodging Info for the TriviAle Bash:
I highly recommend the AmericInn, which is located less than a mile from our front door.
In addition to being incredibly close, it is a lovely hotel, offering breakfast, very clean rooms, a really nice, open lobby, a cool manager (Matt), a swimming pool and a hot tub. What's more, they will offer us the conference room for after-hours partying. Matt will give anyone from our group an $89/night rate (down from their normal $129 rate).
Please make reservations by the end of July and mention you're with Stewart's or the Trivia Bash or some combination thereof.

http://www.americinn.com/hotels/DE/Bear?chebs=ai_glThe only drawback to the AmericInn is that despite its proximity, it is on a relatively busy roadway on the other side of a relatively major intersection, making walking ill-advised. That said, it's a very, very quick drive and a really nice hotel, especially for $89.
Should you require ritzier accommodations, there is the Hilton Christiana, about 5.5 miles north, who will offer $109/night. (But it's not that much ritzier.)
http://www.hiltonchristiana.com/Should you find yourself on a more limited budget, across the road from the Hilton is a Red Roof Inn, which offers $59/night singles and $65/night doubles. (I'd really suggest treating yourself to the AmericInn, though.)
http://www.redroof.com/reservations/pro ... px?pid=190Just a reminder that the AmericInn would like your reservations by the end of this month. I just signed the reservation agreement, though, and Matt has lowered the rate down to $84.90.
