There will usually be a group rate available to those attending the Seminars, although a football game or other special event might preclude that on some of the days; to obtain any special rate, you must call the Austin La Quinta Inn-Capitol directly at 512/476-1166 or call Central La Quinta reservations at 800/753-3757 and request a booking at the rate for the "Jim Daniel Seminar group block".
