What are my lodging and meal options while I attend ABC?

ABC has secured two hotel options for lodgings.

All reservation packages are for every night starting with June 18 and continuing through and including July 5. There are no reduced package prices for nights not occupied. First year candidates have entrance exams on June 19 and returning candidates can use that day to enjoy the area or work on projects. July 5 final exams and 3rd year comprehensives last until 5:00pm with all candidates required to participate in the Diagnostic Rehearsal Bands. Therefore, you can arrange your departure for July 6 coupled with the available motel night on July 5.

Hotel Lodging Packages

  • All hotels are equipped with free internet, microwave oven, refrigerator, free parking, TV and 2 queen beds.
  • Hotel packages include breakfast (at the hotel).
  • All packages include lunch through ABC at the Ashland High School Cafeteria (except June 18, 19, 26, 27, July 4). Our special dinner on July 3 will also be covered with this package. If you are NOT staying in our hotels, see info at the bottom on this page for meal options.
  • Outdoor swimming pool.
  • ABC offers no single hotel rooms due to tight limits in the number of available rooms in our block.
  • A limited number of king rooms are available at the Ashland Hills Hotel and are reserved for couples.
  • It is not allowable to switch hotels from week to week. Sign up for all needs via one hotel.
  • Roommate requests will be honored ONLY when both people have signed up for the same motel.
  • It is VERY IMPORTANT for roommate pairs to sign up within the same 24-hour period. Room slots are not saved for the eventual sign-up of a potential roommate. If rooms at a motel sell out, we will not move those who have signed up to accommodate a late-arrival roommate.

The lodging packages include ALL nights from June 18 through and including July 5. Just login or create your ABC account and see more info at the Lodging Tab. Click on the links below for more information on each option.
