If you have not made your hotel reservation please do so as soon as possible. Over 3/4 of the block of rooms we have reserved, at the special NCIS Fan Fest rate, are already reserved. Rooms with two beds are very limited, even with us being able to add a few more to our block. Once these rooms are gone, reservations will only be taken at the current hotel rate not the special NCIS Fan Fest rate. Remember the hotel will honor the special NCIS Fan Fest rate three days prior and three days after the Fan Fest, based on room availability. Your credit card will not be charged until you arrive in September.

If you require assistance in making a hotel reservation please contact us at registrations@ncisfanfest.com with your arrival and departure dates, one or two beds, smoking or non smoking.
Make your reservation today!

Airfares are great right now. Many fans and the Planning Committee have found fare watchers helpful in catching those low fares for coming to the NCIS Fan Fest. Why not set a fare watch at your favorite airline or use one of the services that check all the airlines:
