In an effort to hold your travel costs down, the AAAR has negotiated a special room credit with the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. For Hyatt guests, the hotel will be posting a $10 credit per night to your room folio. If you are in a double, triple or quadruple occupancy room and each of the occupants is registered with the hotel, each registrant will receive this $10 per night credit. The credit can be used to offset any charge – room and tax, room service, parking, all hotel food and beverage outlets, etc.
