In good traffic this is probably 35 minutes from the meet course.  Traffic is very bad so allow a lot more time to get to the course and once you get there parking is even worse.

Team rooms have already been booked by the coaches/school.  The Booster Club has 8 rooms blocked under the name of “Starr” with a rate of $79.00.  If you want to make a reservation make sure and mention this block of rooms and price quote.  Rooms will only be held for a little while and hotels are filling fast so plan accordingly.  If you make a reservation and then decide not to go…you are responsible for your own cancellation.
