We are happy to refer our clients to the Homewood Suites by Hilton, located about 5 minutes from our offices. We have worked out some good rates with this hotel and Dr. Gil personally visited it and found it to be clean, comfortable, pleasant, and very well situated from our offices. They have extra amenities, including transportation to and from Starbright and the Metro; a full breakfast by an Ecuadorian chef; walking distance from the Silver Diner (now using a very healthy and natural menu), and across the way from some other nice restaurants. There is a swimming pool and a nice dining area and courtyard. The rooms are all suites with a kitchen area (my personal favorite when I'm on the road). The rates for our partiticipants attending Thurs eve through Sunday is $99.00 per night. Please mention Starbright when you call for reservations and if you have questions, please contact Bob Duffey.
