We have just found out that the Fitchburg Line which serves South Acton station, the station closest to the hotel, will not be running Saturday and Sunday. We are working on the problem.
If you are arriving Saturday and commuter rail is your only option (e.g., you're flying in), your best bet is to take the train on the Lowell Line to Lowell station. We can arrange to pick you up if you notify hotel2015[at] concertino.net BEFORE 7 PM Friday, telling us what train you're arriving on. We'll try to arrange to get you to the hotel from there, but please don't consider us committed to anything until we reply.
We will organize a ride-share sign-up at the convention for people who are leaving on Saturday or Sunday and need to use commuter rail. Again, we'll try to arrange to get you from the hotel to the train station, but don't consider us committed to anything until we
have found a suitable arrangement.
The schedule for the Fitchburg Line is at here. The schedule for the Lowell Line is here. It leaves from North Station, the same as the train to South Acton.
The room rate is US$109/night (plus tax) for 1 to 4 people.
The room block closed May 28, 2015.
To reserve your hotel room you can call the hotel directly or 1 - 800 - HOLIDAY and mention CON to get the convention rate. You can reserve online by clicking here. If you have problems with your reservations, you can contact hotel2015[at]concertino[dot]net.
The hotel is about five miles from the South Acton station, which has frequent trains all weekend. There's a hotel shuttle from there. You will have to notify the hotel in advance of what train you'll be coming in on.
The hotel has a good restaurant. It has a breakfast buffet and some under-$10 items at lunch. Bravo Pizza (takeout only) is about a mile down 111 (aka Mass. Ave.). There are other places to eat in West Acton, about three miles away. Places to eat there include DiCapri Pizzeria, New London Style Pizza, T. C. Lando's Sub and Pizzeria, and The Local Table. More information is available in the Restaurant Guide which you can download here.
Directions to the hotel are here.
