The conference hotel is Staybridge Suites-Baton Rouge/University Area, located at 4001 Nicholson Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. Staybridge is within walking distance of the conference venue at LSU (Howe-Russell-Kniffen Geoscience Complex). The renovations to the hotel will be completed before the conference. There is a complimentary breakfast and a swimming pool at the hotel. There are many restaurants nearby.

We have reserved a block of rooms until September 17, 2019, including studios ($109 plus tax per night), one bedroom with king bed ($119 plus tax per night), and one bedroom with double beds ($138 plus tax per night). Please contact the hotel at (225) 456-5430 and mention that you are reserving for the South Central Conference Mesoamerica (code: SCM).

There are many other hotels in Baton Rouge. If you are driving to LSU, please park in the Union Square Parking Garage (located behind Barnes and Noble) which is a short walk to the Howe-Russell-Geoscience Complex. Although the SCCM will be held during LSU’s “Fall Holiday” (no classes), the university will still be open and has restricted parking.

We will be posting more information, including maps.
