When making your hotel reservation, be sure to mention that you are with the USS L. Y. SPEAR 2024 Reunion to receive the special negotiated rate.  This rate is also good for 3 days prior to the reunion and 3 days immediately following the reunion BASED ON AVAILABILITY.  It is highly recommended that you make your hotel reservations early even if you aren't sure that you can attend, in order to get a discounted room for the days you want.  You will have 48 hours prior to check-in to cancel your reservations to avoid penalties.

RESERVATION TIP:  It is easier to remove unwanted nights at a later date than to try to add additional nights to a reservation (and still keep your same room).  Therefore, when making your reservations you may want to check-in earlier and/or check-out later just in case your plans change as the reunion gets closer.
