Best Western Marty's Valley Inn in Oceanside is the best hotel within a distance of 7 miles from the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum conference grounds. The hotel has been recently remodeled and most rooms have microwave and refrigerators.

Hotel arrangements have been made and they remembered us from the last conference as a bunch of nice guys and offered us special rates. The Special rates are $69 Queen and $79 King/Double. We reserved 90 rooms which are available till the end of March 2008. After that the regular rates are $85/95. Call Marty's at (760) 757-7700 and say CBA Blacksmith Conference.
