LODGING

A brand new hotel has opened--The Comfort Inn at 475 Dingins Street in Buffalo.

This is the closest hotel to the conference site! We have made arrangements to hold rooms for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, either one king bed or two queen beds, at a special GLIIF Conference rate of $89.99 plus tax per night. Check in time is 3 pm, and check out time is noon.

The rate includes a deluxe continental breakfast which is served from 6 -10 am, with beverages available 24 hours a day. There is an indoor swimming pool as well. Every room has free high speed internet access, and a refrigerator. This is a great opportunity for you to stay in a brand new hotel! Contact must be made with the hotel directly at 716-896-2800, and you must state that you are attending the “GLIIF Blacksmithing Conference” to get the discounted rate of $89.99.

Rooms will be held only until May 16th. If you have any questions, please email blacksmith@forterie.com or call Connie Parry at 905-894-4843.

Other places to stay in the Buffalo Metropolitan Area

Below is a link to a website containing a list of motels and hotels along with their daily rates. Due to the conference being held on a holiday weekend we suggest that you make your lodging selection early and confirm your dates of arrival and departure. Most places to stay are within a short distance of the conference and easily accessible from the NYS Thruway.
