The Westin Hotel-Harbour Island in downtown Tampa is located right on the water and will serve as the convention headquarters for PAVO, with the NCAA Division I semi-finals and championship matches played at The St Pete Times Forum. Be sure and mention that you are with PAVO for the $119 double occupancy rate. That rate is only offered for reservations made prior to Nov 24, 2009 - don't wait, as the number of rooms in the PAVO block is limited.  Plan to stay a few days before and after the convention, the Westin has agreed to honor the discounted daily rate. Make your reservations as soon as possible. To reserve a room, call 813-229-5000 or click here for online reservations. The backup hotel is the nearby Marriott Waterside, where the rate is $135 per night/single and $145 per night/double.  To make a Marriott reservation, call 888-268-1616 and ask for the American Volleyball Coaches Association rate, or go to the AVCA website (www.avca.org) and use the link on the Convention page.

Note: Cancellation policy for all PAVO/AVCA convention hotels - At any point after a room is reserved, cancellation will result in one night's room change plus tax billed to the credit card used to guarantee the room.  Exceptions may be made for emergencies and special circumstances (contact PAVO at pavo@pavo.org).
