Lodging at the College of St. Benedict
Need a room for the MQ2006 Quilt Show?
As a standard policy, MQ does not get involved with providing accomodations, but we are aware that hotels in St. Cloud may become booked for this occasion. So, the St. Cloud Visitors & Convention Bureau has found an alternative to booking a hotel room. The Visitors Bureau has made arrangements with the College of St. Benedict to rent their dorm rooms.
If you make a reservation the College of St. Benedict please be advised that you will NOT receive a confirmation. You will have a reserved room unless you are contacted by Barb. Your checks will be held and will not be deposited until approximately 10 days before your check-in date.
Our quilter representative toured the facility to get a realistic evaluation of the accomodations and says "they are wonderful." Here is some information for you to consider:
- Four buildings of wonderful dorm rooms with varying arrangements, some with one bed, some with two beds. Some have a private bath, some share and some are "clustered" with a common "living" area.
- Cost with tax is: single room - $31.95, double room - $26.63, apartment (sleeps four) - $42.60. These fees are per person per night fees.
- Handicapped accessible
- Parking is right next to the dorms
- Good lighting, good security (exterior doors, as well as interior rooms are keyed)
- Distances from dorm door to Civic Center is 10 miles
- Resturants within 1 block
- Vending machines for soft drinks and snacks
- Stove & refrigerator, but NO TV, radio, alarm, coffee makers, microwave or eating/cooking utensils.
- All bed & bath linens provided

- Quilter Representative says there is adequate space & electrical outlets to set up sewing machines!
- Common areas for gathering (good for show & tell or just bonding!!)
- To make a reservation, please send the Reservation Form with the appropriate funds. We must receive this reservation by June 1, 2006. However, the rooms will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis until they are full, so we advise you to reserve as soon as possible. We will NOT make a reservation without payment.
