Directions to campus and hotels

If you haven't done so yet, please arrange your hotel reservations. We will soon reserve blocks of rooms for the conference, so stay tuned for more information. It is recommended that you have either your car or a rental car available to commute between UTPA, hotels, and restaurants. If you have requested that we help you with transportation, please stay in the last 4 hotels on the list. They are next to the freeway, and there is dinner within walking distance.

Various Tips

  • No State Tax: Conference participants are not supposed to pay state hotel tax at the hotels. Please download, fill out, and provide the form Texas Hotel Occupancy Tax Exemption Certificate at the hotel check in.
  • Border Patrol: Due to our proximity with the border, be sure to have your immigration documents or proof of citizenship with you, whether you travel by car or airplane. E.g. here is one of the border patrol checkpoints. If you are a US citizen, bring your passport or passport card. If you are on H1B visa, bring your I-94. If you are a graduate student on F1 bring your I-20. You will need documents even if you are travelling by airplane.
  • Travel to Mexico: The US Department of State has issued a travel warning against travelling to Mexico. Travel warnings are to be taken very seriously. For purposes of comparison, you can review the list of countries for which a travel warning has been issued. Also see the US Department of State document on visiting Mexico. Feel free to contact the organizers for any questions concerning this matter.
  • Lunch and Dinner: Complimentary lunch at the University Dining Hall, in honor of the participants, will be provided by the UTPA Department of Mathematics on Saturday to the speakers. You will be required to bring your nametag to the University Dining Hall, to eat at no charge. Some of the hotels above have dinner within walking distance. However, your best options, listed below, are accessible by car only.
