Hotel

This years conference will be held at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. 

The SMASH rate reservation cut-off date has now passed. If you wish to reserve a room at the hotel we advise using a third-party booking agency as this will likely provide a better room rate than booking directly with the hotel.

Information for SMASH rate reservations

Check-in / Check-out:

Check-in time is 4:00pm; check-out time is 11:00am. 

All guests arriving before 4:00pm will be accommodated as rooms become available.  Hotel staff can arrange to check baggage for those arriving early when rooms are unavailable for guests who arrive early.

 Cancellations/No Show: 

Guests can cancel their reservations with no penalty up to 72 hours before check-in.  Within the 72 hour window, cancellations will be charged one night’s room and tax.  If a guest does not check-in on their arrival date, a “no-show” fee of one night’s room and tax will be charged.

 $100 Holds on Credit Cards:

Upon check in, a credit or debit card is required for any charges responsible by the individual guest.  The hotel will place a minimum of $100 hold per day of the reservation to cover any incidentals. (This is in addition to room and tax per night as applicable.)  All holds on credit/debit cards are released through the bank in which the card is associated and the hold/release funds policies the bank adheres to.  Release of any unused hold funds may take up to 7 or more days dependent upon the banks policies.

 Early Departure Fee: 

Please note that there is a charge for all early departures (currently one nights room and tax).

Resort charge:

There is an optional resort charge providing extra benefits at the hotel ($ 22 per room, per night, plus applicable state and local tax); your choice, but we DO NOT recommend this option unless you want to take advantage of the extras it provides (if you just want high speed internet in your room, then paying for that alone is cheaper - and SMASH will provide WiFi in the conference area).

Parking:

Overnight hotel  self-parking is $33.00 per car/night and valet parking is $43.00 per car/night.
