Hotel Suggestions

The following hotels are convenient to Collin College’s Preston Ridge Campus (9700 Wade Blvd., Frisco, Texas 75035) and offer rooms under $140/night.

Collin College will not reimburse a hotel room costing more than $140/night including taxes.

All rates and discount room block availability listed below are subject to change without notice and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Book your room as soon as possible.

It is the attendee's sole responsibility to confirm at check-out that any applicable discounted Working Connections rate has been correctly applied. Review your bill!

Instead, you may request round-trip mileage reimbursement at 58 cents/mile. Submit a GoogleMap printout of your home-to-Collin College mileage with your “Request for Travel Reimbursement” form. You may handwrite your mileage amount in the Lodging section of the form.


TEXAS RESIDENTS ONLY: Don't forget to bring your “Texas Hotel Occupancy Tax Exemption Certificate.” Collin College will not reimburse state hotel occupancy taxes and some hotels will not reimburse it after you've checked out.
