Other options…

The Best Western St. Jacob’s Country Inn just outside of the nearby (10 minutes by car) village St. Jacob’s is a nice home base for visitors who prefer a rural setting.  St. Jacob’s is a beautiful little town with many craft and antique stores.  It is situated in the heart of Waterloo Mennonite country.

The Waterloo Hotel is a little pricier than our preferred hotels and is not accessible by wheelchair.  However, it is a beautiful heritage inn with extremely handsome, well-appointed rooms, and is located in the centre of uptown Waterloo, a short walk or drive from the conference.

 

 

Accommodations

Pearson International Airport (Toronto)

Visitors can conveniently fly to Pearson from almost anywhere in the world.  Pearson is about 90 km east of Waterloo.  If you’re travelling here with two or more people, consider renting a car at the airport and driving to Waterloo.  If you’re travelling on your own, it is more economical to book an airport shuttle to Waterloo with Airways Transit.

On-campus accommodations

Single occupancy accommodations are available on-campus in the King Street residence for $40/night.  Stipulate “Disorderly Conduct” under “reason for visit.”

If you are travelling to the conference in a group of people, you might instead consider booking into suite-style accommodation at the Bricker Residence.

Both residences are very convenient to the Disorderly Conduct meeting rooms.
