2017 Lodgings Finder Post!
For folks not in easy driving distance of the Twin Cities, you can use this post to find roommates to share a hotel room with or connect up with some of the locals who are able to host some attendees for the weekend!
The GPS Community Center is located at 1121 NE Jackson St., Minneapolis MN 55413. There are quite a few hotels in downtown Minneapolis that are an easy bus ride away. Google Maps should be able to give you the logistical lowdown on that, depending on which hotel you're looking up. Metro Transit also has your back.
Many people last year stayed in groups in Airbnbs near the venue, which worked out really well, and we highly recommend! While we'll leave actual rental & group organization up to you, we definitely encourage you to use this option :)
Note from Jo: You may be tempted to stay at the University Inn off of 4th St as it's the closest hotel to the center, but trust me and do not do the thing. Maybe something has changed in the last decade since I lived in that area, but I know it as a place to avoid and am thus passing on this important info.
Locals, if you have some guest rooms or couch space you're able to spare, please chime in! Any space available at an individual's home is at their discretion, of course.

Another Airbnb Option
My sister and I booked this airbnb for Friday through Monday:
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12702706?guests=2&adults=2&location=1121%20Jackson%20St%20NE%2C%20Minneapolis%2C%20MN%2055413&check_in=2017-10-20&check_out=2017-10-23
We'll have an extra pull out couch available for one or a pair of cuddly people if anyone's interested. I think this house has another unit available as well here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5946613?guests=2&adults=2&location=1121%20Jackson%20St%20NE%2C%20Minneapolis%2C%20MN%2055413&check_in=2017-10-20&check_out=2017-10-23
They seem pretty well reviewed and super close to the venue.
Let me know if you're interested.
