I have confirmed the hotel
rates for Kingdom A&S and Bardic in the Shire of Danescombe
(Penticton, BC).
The Hotel is 7 blocks from the site. It is the closest hotel
to the site and a lovely walk or quick drive away. There are many
places to grab coffee and food between the two locations.

… The hotel can be found here:

There are three rates depending
on your view and they are all for standard double occupancy:
Parkview: $94 plus tax
Beachview: $104 plus tax
Lakeview: $114 plus tax

Parking is $5 per day.

The default will be for the least expensive until they all book up
and then it will go up from there unless you request different
accomodations.

There are MANY hotels around the city. This is simply the closest
one and we have dealt with them in the past.

To get the rates please book under Society for Creative
Anachronism.

If you are flying in the closest airport is Penticton. You can also
fly into Kelowna and we can arrange a ride but it is an hour away
so please let us know if that is what you choose to do.
