TRANSPORTATION
Transportation from LAX to Pasadena is either via rental car or via airport
shuttle. Prime Time Shuttle and Super Shuttle will pick you up outside baggage
claims area and will drop you at your hotel for $17 and $19 one-way,
respectively. No reservations are needed from LAX to hotel.
HOTELS
The Westin Hotel is the most conveniently-located, 250 m from meeting
location, but also the most expensive hotel choice. Call reservation desk at
866-837-4181 and ask for the "Jet Propulsion Laboratory rate", which is $159
per night plus tax.
Another good choice is the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel (626-449-4000), which is a
pleasant 1-km walk to meeting location, and which offers a free shuttle for
drop offs and pickups to a radius that includes JPL, Caltech, and the meeting
location. Ask for the JPL rate, which is $110 per night plus tax.
Finally, a low-cost but reasonable alternative that is often used by Caltech
visitors is the Saga Motor Hotel (626-795-0431), which is located across from
Pasadena City College approximately 1.5 mile east of meeting location on
Colorado Blvd. Ask for the JPL rate, which is $69 per night plus tax.
PARKING
Parking at Raytheon, if needed, is available in the underground garage
accessible from the Garfield entrance (at the back side of the University of
Phoenix building). Please identify yourselves as visitors to Raytheon and
obtain a parking ticket upon entering the garage. Parking spaces are limited
and we have been asked not to park in spots marked "Raytheon".
