Medical and Pharmacy School Classes of 2010:

Because the Erie graduation date falls on Memorial Day weekend, May 30, 2010, and several large soccer tournaments -- drawing thousands of visitors -- are scheduled for the same weekend, the local hotels will be filling up quickly and well in advance.

We have partnered with Scott Enterprise hotels and restaurants (information site listed below) and they have agreed to offer your graduating class, family and visitors a substantial hotel discount with additional incentives for booking your hotel, restaurant and/or banquet space well in advance.

Hotel Rooms

Please contact one of the below properties in the event that you are in need of hotel room space for your visitors and/or family directly at the individual hotels and reference the “LECOM GRADUATION RATE”. Students that need more than 10 rooms should contact the Sales Office at (814) 866-2773.

Hilton Garden Inn: (814) 866-1390
Courtyard by Marriott: (814) 860-8300
Residence Inn by Marriott: (814) 864-2500
Holiday Inn Express: (814) 217-1100

Dinner Events

Restaurant reservations and/or banquet space for celebrations also have a great incentive for booking early. Scott Enterprises is offering a Complimentary Graduation Cake (half sheet) and LECOM themed balloons at any dinner booked at the AmbassadorCenter with a minimum food and beverage purchase. Guests staying at Scott Enterprise hotels will also receive coupons good at select Scott Enterprise restaurants and SplashLagoonIndoorWaterPark.

The contact number for the Ambassador Center is (814) 866-9999.

Be sure to make your reservations no later than July 31, 2009, for 2010 graduation as the hotel rooms will be filling up well in advance of one year before the date you may need them.

The Web site for the hotel information is www.scottenterprises.org.

Thanks very much for looking into this in advance and congratulations on your upcoming graduation!
