Lodging
Primary Lodging
We have reserved 25 rooms at two Best Western hotels, one is directly across from the Colorado State University campus, the other two miles from campus, near the Mulberry Street exit off of I-25. Interested individuals need to call either motel and indicate that they will be attending the "Dragonfly Society of the Americas Annual Meeting" 8-11 July 2011. I would strongly suggest making the reservations as soon as possible. There are other conferences on campus.
