IJA Festival Lodging
Where to stay
Courtyard by Marriott
Hilton Fort Wayne
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING A ROOM:
You will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit equal to one night’s stay plus taxes with your reservation at either hotel.
If your plans change and you can’t make it to the festival, you can swap your reservation to another juggler using the IJA’s Room Swap page on Facebook , where you can find another juggler who needs your room. Work out the arrangements with them, then call the hotel to change the name on your reservation to the other juggler. The other juggler can reimburse you for the one-night deposit you’ve already paid. When the other juggler checks into the hotel, they will give their credit card to secure payment on the rest of their stay.
This policy has been put into effect to reduce the number of reservation cancellations and unsold rooms during our festival, which has the effect of preventing jugglers from being able to get a reservation at IJA rates during the fest even though reservations were made and cancelled, and then left unavailable to other jugglers to reserve.
