Lodging
The team will be staying at The Best Western Philadelphia-Pennsauken. We have stayed here in the past and have a good relationship with the hotel. The team has a reserved block of rooms for which lodging expenses are included in the athlete cost for Stotes - there is no need to reserve your athlete's room since they are included in the team block of rooms. We also have a reserved block of rooms available for parents/families/spectators who would like to stay at the same hotel as the team. Please be aware that priority in this block of rooms is given to chaperones - if we have to deconflict reservations to ensure chaperones have a room we will let you know ASAP. If you are unable to reserve a room with our blocked reservation, please reach out to Tara McClure, who assists our team as a travel agent. Her contact information is: taramcclure73@gmail.com. For athletes, rooms will be assigned according to boat and there will be four athletes to a room.

Meals
We will provide catered meals to the team which is included in the Stotes cost per athlete. This will include Thursday dinner at the hotel, breakfasts Friday and Saturday at the hotel, Friday lunch at the river and dinner at Splitz Bowling Alley, and Saturday lunch at the river. Please know that the team has a private room reserved at Splitz and we have patronized this location in the past - it is a wonderful venue and the team has had a wonderful time here. If your athlete has a dietary concern, please let us know so that I may coordinate with our caterer who can provide for gluten free, etc. with alternative options available. Attending family members may also pre-purchase meals (link will be provided).
