Hotel: At the top of this web page (Soon!) is a registration link to the Hampton Inn Pittsburgh Airport (7.5 miles away). Trinity has reserved a block of rooms for $99/night. We also have a hotel list if you would like to shop around the airport area. There are no hotels in or near Ambridge.
Trinity Home: A limited number of people in the Trinity community open their homes to visitors with a bed & breakfast arrangement for $30/night. We are happy to make those arrangements for you, but on a first-come-first-served basis. Please use the Housing and Transportation form at the top of this web page.
Dorm Room: We have made arrangements with Robert Morris University (7 miles away) for air-conditioned college dormitory rooms for $20/night (double occupancy) or $30/night for a private room.

You will also want to bring a bathrobe and slippers because the dorms feature group bathrooms and showers (with individual privacy and sex-segregated floors).
