The organizers would like to put in a special word for the Aava Hotel, as they have been particularly supportive of Barebones by providing great rates for competitors, space for package pickup, and certain number of complementary rooms for organizers based on the number of orienteers that stay there - and so if you can't decide where to stay for any other reason, please consider giving your business to the Aava.
