BayCon is returning for our third year at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara, located at 5101 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, California, 95054. All convention space is accessible from inside the hotel. There are a number of food options available for your convenience in the hotel itself and a wide variety of restaurants in the vicinity.

The hotel has sold out for the past two years, so make sure to book your room early! Other organized events use the local hotels, so book your room now to guarantee the best access to all BayCon's events. When making your reservation, be sure to mention the reservation code: BAYA or follow this link to our group reservation website

Hotel FAQ

What's the deadline for making my hotel reservation?
In order to receive the BayCon room rate, reservations must be made by May 1, 2010.

What is the BayCon reservation code?
The easiest way to make your reservation is to use to the Hyatt's BayCon reservation webpage at http://santaclara.hyatt.com/groupbooking/clara2010baya. Be sure to select your intended check-in and check-out dates. If you would like to register by phone, make sure to mention the reservation code: BAYA.

Can I make my reservation without going on-line?
Of course! Just call 1-800-233-1234 and ask for the BayCon rate. If they seem puzzled, tell them it might be listed under Artistic Solutions.

What's the room rate?
$99+tax per night for a room with either a single king bed or two double beds.

What are the rates for suites?
Sadly, there no available suites at the Hyatt.

How many guest rooms are there in the Hyatt Regency?
501.

How many smoking rooms are available?
There are a very limited number of smoking rooms. Please contact hotel10@baycon.org if you have special considerations or concerns regarding smoking rooms.

How much is parking?
It's FREE! We have a 3-story parking garage and there are no gates to fight with!

How do I get a room on the party floor?
Make a normal reservation and contact the BayCon Hotel Division at parties10@baycon.org to have your room moved to the party floor. The party floor sells out early so make sure to reserve your room soon.

Can I bring my cat/dog/iguana/drama llama?
No. The Hyatt Regency is a Pet Free Zone, though documented and jacketed service animals are welcome.

Can I get there on public transit?
Yes; VTA's Great America Station is across from the Convention Center. This is served by the Mountain View-Winchester Light Rail line. (This is not the same as Amtrak/ACE's Great America Station, which is closer to VTA's Lick Mill Station.) If you're coming from Caltrain, you'll most likely want to transfer at Mountain View.

Is there a shuttle from the airport?
The hotel does not provide a courtesy shuttle. The least expensive way to get here from SJC is to take the free Airport Flyer to the Metro/Airport Station, then transfer to a Mountain View train.

Whom do I contact with questions or problems?
Email hotel10@baycon.org and our elite team of troubleshooters will help answer all of your queries, ponderings, or problems.
