Although the Delmar Loop is a great location with much entertainment, being a student area, there are few hotels.

However, at Hotels.com we have found the following hotels which seem competitively priced and are the closest to the venue:

Crowne Plaza St Louis-Clayton

7750 Carondelet Ave
Clayton, MO 63105

Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel St. Louis

7730 Bonhomme Ave
Saint Louis, MO 63105

Also, near Lampert Airport you will find the usual crop of motels, about 5 miles away.

If you are arriving from Lampert Airport, please note that Delmar Loop station is only a short ride on the Metrolink. It is then a half mile walk to All Saints Parish.

Please bookmark this page for future updates and mark your calendars for what will certainly be the biggest local aikido event in 2008. We look forward to seeing you there!
