Check List
1. How to get to the venue, Oxford Palace Hotel
Please refer to our page, https://stepup.ksea.org/venue/travel.
Rideshare (Uber or Lyft): When you are coming from LAX airport, after getting off from the gate, follow the sign for rideshare transit, and take a shuttle that takes you to the spot where you can call the rideshare of your choice.
Parking: If you drive and park at the hotel, it's self-parking and free of charge. But spots are limited and may parked double, so please make sure to leave your contact number on the dashboard whether you parked alone or blocked a car in front.
2. Hotel check-in
Although a shared hotel room is provided with your registration, the number of hotel rooms is limited so if you do not need a room during the conference, registering without the room request may be appreciated. Please note that the person you'll be sharing the room with is randomly selected.
If you selected the hotel accommodation during your reservation, please go to the hotel check-in and show your photo ID upon arrival. Some of you received a confirmation email from the hotel and others didn't. For those who didn't, we will send you an email with a confirmation number. If you still have a concern, please send us an email at stepup@ksea.org.
The room and applicable taxes for your room will be charged to the STEP-UP master account, but you still need to give your credit card to the receptionist for incidental expenses.
