[ubl] Hotels for UBL TC meeting 2002.01.22-25

The hotels most convenient to our upcoming UBL TC meeting in Menlo
Park are actually located in Palo Alto, the town immediately south
of Menlo Park.  The two best lists I've found for hotels in the
area are the list maintained by Stanford University and the list
maintained by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce.  You can find
these at

The safest bets are the Sheraton and the Westin, which are
adjacent to each other on El Camino Real, but I've also heard good
reports about the Cardinal, which is probably less expensive and
certainly in a more entertaining location.  Here's the information
on these three hotels from the Chamber of Commerce site:

Given the severely depressed state of the local travel industry,
finding lodgings shouldn't be a problem right now.  It might prove
worthwhile to shop around a little and compare rates.

Directions to the meeting will be provided separately about a week
in advance to people who register.
