Lodging for the LAS Annual Meeting in the Alexandria/Pineville Area
Since the LSUA campus is located south of Alexandria, there are no hotels or motels adjacent to campus. With the meetings scheduled for one day, many participants will drive in only for the day so no room blocks have been established with the hotels/motels. Many of the facilities have indicated they accept per diem rates or have special rates for state employees. Below is a list of some local facilities.
