Official ICAR housing (shown on #2 on the map to the left) is close to ICAR, budget-friendly, shared housing facilities, not fancy but functional, includes daily full breakfast buffet (all you can eat), and a convenient location. These are campus residence halls in apartment style (private bedroom, shared facilities).
One early check in day (July 14) and/or one late check out day (July 20) is possible to reserve.
Further from ICAR- moderate to luxury, private facilities, range from functional to fancy, requires some transportation: hotel or Airbnb, etc., that you book on your own. The closest 4 hotels to UCSD are shown in the map but they are $400+ per night, so you may want to look further away (see Hotel list pdf)
ALTERNATIVE LODGING (not handled by ICAR)
Below are some hotel options- these are ONLY a sample. We do NOT have reservations for any hotels. If you want a hotel, you must find the website and book a room on your own.
ICAR is not involved in any hotels, and we ONLY offer on-campus budget housing.
ALTERNATIVE LODGING
While the campus dorms are the least expensive and closest accommodations, if you need upscale accommodations, a large bed or air conditioning (not usually necessary in San Diego in July), you will need to find & reserve your own off-campus lodging.
ICAR is at the University of California, San Diego.
Address: 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093
For UBER/LYFT/TAXI: the CLOSEST address to the Price Center, where all sessions are held:
3151 Matthews Lane, La Jolla
This information is provided as a courtesy only, and we do not guarantee availability or pricing, nor do we explicitly recommend any of these hotels and cannot guarantee the accuracy of their listings or amenities.There are many hotels, motels, resorts, hostels, AirBnb, VRBO, etc. in San Diego. If you receive any solicitations from any hotels claiming to be affiliated with ICAR, this is false. We will only offer onsite campus lodging.
If you prefer an upscale hotel experience, we advise you to book off-site lodging early.
July in San Diego is "high season”! Prices are at their highest point and inventory at its lowest.
All off campus bookings are to be done by individuals and will not be coordinated by ICAR.
ICAR will manage onsite budget campus lodging only.
Additional Disclaimers:
Transit time is estimated based on public mapping and is not guaranteed to be accurate or to reflect current conditions (e.g., traffic or road closures).
To book one of these hotels: locate the hotel online and book your room directly. There is NO conference discount code and there may be different pricing if you book through the hotel directly vs if you book through a third-party vendor.
Note: if you plan to drive and park on campus you will need to purchase daily public parking permits.

On-campus residence halls are the closest to the ICAR 2024 site (Price Center at UCSD) and a budget-friendly lodging option (rates include full breakfast.)
The official lodging for ICAR 2024 are the on-campus residence hall apartments which are operated by the University. Given the high price of local hotels we consider this to be the best option for most attendees (for example, a 4 night package in a shared room is ~ the same cost as a single night at the closest hotel, the Estancia).
These are apartment style which means rooms are private, or can be shared (with locking doors), and shared living space: bathrooms, shower, living area, kitchen. There are 4-6 individual rooms/apartment. We will fill in individuals to a rooming list to fill apartments. If there are individuals that wish to be assigned to the same apartment, you can indicate this in your residence hall reservation form. If you want to reserve a shared room, you can indicate the name of your roommate when you reserve, or you can indicate that you need a roommate assigned to you.*
April 15: Reduced rate deadline.
April 30: Deadline for guaranteed extra night(s).
June 1: Deadline to guarantee on-campus standard 4 night housing packages (extra nights may only be added if there is availability).
We will accept late reservations if there is availability (not guaranteed).
4 night packages include daily breakfast. There is no credit for shorter stays. Up to 2 extra nights may be added if this helps your travel (July 14 early check-in and/or July 20 late check-out). Early check in (July 14) & late check-out (July 20) include breakfast (the following morning).
Campus lodging check-in time on July 14 & July 15: 11 am - 11 pm (location TBD)
Campus lodging check-out time: by 12 pm/Noon**
*We will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee that we will be able to. Campus housing requires us to maximize occupancy; the best way to ensure you can share an apartment with the person(s) you want is to all have the same check-in/check-out dates
**We will arrange space at the Price Center (ICAR site) to hold luggage ~8:30 am – 3 pm on Friday 19 July to accommodate departures on the last day of ICAR.
If you prefer a hotel-style environment or you are traveling with friends or family, you may prefer alternative lodging. You must find & book alternative lodging on your own.
See Alternative Lodging section (column to the left)
Note: hotels near ICAR are expensive ($300+/night). There are less expensive alternatives further away that will require transportation (e.g., Uber/Lyft, public transportation- such as the San Diego trolley, or the use of a personal rental car & daily parking permit)
We provide some hotel listings as a courtesy (see the Alternative Lodging section below this section). The list is further sub-divided into nearby hotels (possibly within walking distance) and further hotels: some accessible to the Trolley and others that would require Uber/Lyft or car rental.
There are MANY hotels in San Diego- our list is by no means exhaustive.
There are also AirBNBs and VRBOs, and other products.
