Places to rest your head

I think by this point most of you have probably secured some form of lodging, but if not then here is a rough guide.

THE DELTA: The Delta is west of downtown, so people looking for a convenient location relative to the venue should take advantage of the discounted room rates we're getting for doing everything there. Rooms are reduced to $135 per night, but to get that rate you have to first book the night of the wedding and let them know that you're coming for the wedding.

UNB: The University has apartments that can be rented at an apparently quite reasonable rate. We've heard that the suites are booked up, but there should still be room for singles or doubles.

OTHER HOTELS: There are a handful of other hotels you can find through a quick Google search. The Crown Plaza is downtown and quite nice. Most of the other options will be up the hill, and therefore closer to the East Side Mario's than the Palate.

BED & BREAKFASTS: Fredericton has a great selection of B&Bs in and around the city. Look around online for a little while and you'll likely find somewhere that nicely matches your needs.

HOSTEL: The Fredericton hostel is, in a (two) word(s), kinda gross. At $30 a night it's a fairly cheap option, but not nearly as nice as many other hostels we've stayed in for comparable prices. The location is good, and based on the number of stoves and fridges in the place, I'd imagine they have a fairly large number of rooms. They have a pair of really nice old reading rooms, and half of the building has a really nice old feel to it.

APARTMENTS: There are apparently some apartments that can be rented somewhere midway between downtown and the Delta. If you are interested, we can try to find more information on this by request.

CAMPING: There are a few campgrounds near Fredericton, but reviews are few and generally unfavourable. Our backyard can probably fit one or two tents, but we'll have to pass it by our landlords first. Odell Park might be another option, though I'm not sure if camping is allowed, so you may need to hike into the bush a little while before setting up to avoid getting caught.
