The Marriott was newly renovated last year. Endurance Specialists campers enjoy a discount of over 40% off regular rates at the Marriott. Residences are available in a single level suite, or a two-floor penthouse which suitable for sharing amongst two to three campers. The Mariott also has the following advantages for campers:

• swimming pool for cooling down after a long ride
• laundry room on-site, allowing athletes to pack light and wash training gear as needed
• seminar room, used for our evening seminars
• very good buffet breakfast free for all guests
• full kitchenettes in suites

We have been using the Marriott for five years now and have been very happy with their facilities and level of service. If you fail to book in advance and cannot obtain a suite at the Marriott, there is a Radisson Inn next door. Just 300 yards from the Marriott is a Starbucks® and a Trader Joe's®. There are also many restaurants within walking distance.

Call the Marriott and tell them you are participating in the Endurance Specialists Camp (specify which week). Once you are booked please e-mail us; notify us if you want room mates and which size room you have booked.
