This place looks nice, and you just need a couple of hours before Shabbos to leave work for those in NY?NJ.
I've been there and though it's a nice hotel the rooms are definitely aging. Plus its not that great a deal points wise.  If this actually starts to form, someone could pick several weekends and several hotels and put it to a vote.

Oh, I thought you were just coming in for the Kinnus. (and then added the seminar)

So are you here for the weekend regardless of a Shabbaton?

PS to all: not sure how practical making a Shabbaton is with just 1 week's notice.

Yes. I'm giving the CH seminar on Weds, a seminar to the shluchim on Thursday, and the banquet is Sunday night.

True. Was just throwing it out there.

Eh. Assuming it's available, it's not much more than getting a sefer torah and calling in an order to POM.

How about the Sheraton in Stanford next shabbos? I'll be there anyway for my wife's school's Shabbaton and will be bored out of my mind. Some company other than MO HSlers would be nice. Wife won't let me go anywhere else.

Not bad. And oooh! I have one of those!

I would still have to leave work early which I won't know whether I can do till Thursday probably. It's near lower Manhattan which means I need an hour from when I get home to get there.

Ohhh didn't realize it was that long of a trip. Nice.

Ok, well let's see what people think. Is there a way online to see how many rooms they have available for points/aniv night redemption?

Hmm... interesting. I'm going to call and see:
1) How many rooms are available with points
2) What's story with a conference room
3) What's the story with parking (the site says there's $32 overnight fee)
4) Staying in the rooms till Shabbos ends and only paying for Friday night

Any other Q's to ask?
