Hotel
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Best Western Palm Court in the middle of downtown Davis for Friday 8/8 + Saturday 8/9 (you can adjust your stay dates when booking). It's very centrally located and close to everything - restaurants, shops, UCD, central park, and the arboretum. There's also a cafe & bar conveniently located inside the hotel. Please click the "view" link below to book. THE CUT OFF DATE TO BOOK HERE THROUGH OUR BLOCK IS MONDAY JULY 7th **Alternative nearby hotels downtown you can look into are the Aggie Inn, and the Hilton Garden Inn, all about a 5 minute walk from one another. If you want to be REALLY close to the Palm Court there’s The Vine Inn, a walk up style motel just across the street. *A bit further from the town center but still only a 5 min drive from it (would recommend having a car), is the Hyatt House which is new & has a pool.
Travel Note
The closest airport to fly into is Sacramento International Airport (SMF), which is about a 20 minute drive from Davis. It's also not a bad 5.5 hour drive straight up the I-5 from LA, or a bit longer if you take the more scenic route up the PCH from the West and through the Bay area.
