Course Location and Accommodations	French Quarter Inn at Market Square, right in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, just steps from almost anything you might want to do or see during your stay. We have arranged for beautiful accommodations at the French Quarter Inn at a special rate of $159/night. This price includes continental breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese reception every day, freshly baked cookies and milk in the evenings, and complimentary beverages 24 hours per day. Please add 12.5% to the above rates, per room per night, for state and local accommodation taxes and service charges. These rooms are only blocked for the nights of January 17-19, 2010. If you want to arrive on an earlier date or depart on a later date, you will need to arrange that with the French Quarter Inn or other nearby hotel. The number of rooms reserved at this special price is limited. If you want to take advantage of this special rate, you will need to contact the French Quarter Inn by December 18, 2009 and ask for the LXR course rate. After December 18, 2009 rooms will be released back into the hotel inventory for sale to the general public at the standard rate. Contact the French Quarter Inn toll free at 866-812-1900 or 843-722-1900 to reserve a room. Please NOTE that there is a 21-day room cancellation policy at the French Quarter Inn. If a room is cancelled within 21 days of arrival the hotel reserves the right to charge room and tax for the number of nights cancelled. Charleston is a "walking city", no car is necessary (parking is limited and expensive), and unless you absolutely need a car, we recommend that you take a taxi to and from the airport and enjoy Charleston on foot. The nearest airport is Charleston International Airport (CHS), approximately 20 miles north of the city. Don't forget to watch the video tour of the French Quarter Inn at their website: http://fqicharleston.com/ Charleston boasts a wide variety of accommodations to suit every requirement and budget. Should the French Quarter Inn not meet your requirements, we recommend checking hotels.com or orbitz.com for other choices and availability. Often, hotels advertised on hotels.com and orbitz.com will let you book directly with them at the advertised online rate. Booking directly with the hotel will allow you to cancel your reservation (within the hotel's guidelines) should you need to, versus online bookings which typically require payment up front, with no cancellations. If you have any problems making a reservation, please send an email to training@lxr.com.
