Yes! Please book ASAP—rooms are filling quickly! Most of our block is at Harborside Hotel, but if you prefer The Beach Club, call or text Sara at 716-225-1797 to arrange a room. Both hotels require a 2-night minimum stay (5/17–5/19). Planning to stay longer? Extended stays must be booked via phone. Book early and ask about a possible discount!
