Accommodations:
Okemos Area Hotels:
These are all clustered around the four corners of Okemos and Jolly Rd.
I tentatively blocked 10 rooms at each hotel for September 19 and 20, 2025. Call or click the link to book your own reservations under the Group Name: “Okemos Alumni”. I got a discount for each hotel and will try to get better deals when we know how many rooms we’ll actually take. Thus, if we try to cluster in a couple of hotels, we have more to bargain with. Of course, you are free to use your own discounts at any hotel, stay as long as you want and even better, call your friends and family to have them put you up!
