The second block of rooms for Great American Stamp Show 2024 in Hartford is now online: Use this link or go to the APS website’s GASS section. Don’t wait! Last year, the second block sold out quickly. You won’t be charged for your rooms until you check in, so there’s no reason not to book now.

If you are told “your dates are not available” (or something like that), modify the dates. Earlier Friday, within hours of the new block being posted, Sunday night had sold out (and was re-stocked by the APS). You can then change the dates closer to the show.

The Hilton is at 315 Trumbull Street, about 8/10 of a mile from the convention center (according to Google Maps, and depending on the entrances used for either building). It is also on the DASH free shuttle bus service which will be extended for those attending GASS: 7 am to 11 pm Wednesday through Saturday and 7 am to 5 pm on Sunday. It also goes other places of possible interest to those attending the show. A map can be found here or you can click on this picture for a larger version without the “stops” listed.

The convention center is at 100 Columbus Boulevard.
