Hotel Accomodations:  Please click here for a helpful listing of hotels in East Peoria.  All of these hotels are within a 10 minute drive of the Embassy Suites.  Additionally, hotels in downtown Peoria, as well as those out near Grand Prairie Mall are good options.  The hotels near Grand Prairie mall are the furthest away, but are still only a ~20 minute drive.  Due to lack of use last year, we did not reserve a block of hotel rooms this year - we apologize as it seems there would have been enough interest this year!  If you have any questions about specific properties please feel free to e-mail fallconference@centralillinoisbreastfeeding.org.  Thank you!

Special note for local doctors or nurses:  The evening session at Methodist, featuring Catherine Watson Genna will be FREE for local doctors and nurses!  A light dinner will be served, and we hope to see many local faces!
