Loyola Marymount University is located just south of Marina del Rey (and just north of Los Angeles International Airport), on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Princeton Review and other college reference sources regularly rank the campus as among the most beautiful in the country.

The Parking Department will be closed on tournament day. Therefore, there will be no need to pick up a parking permit at the Guard booth.
After passing the guard booth, drive roughly 0.3 miles into campus, passing under a pedestrian bridge. At the third stop sign you reach, turn right into the upper level of the Drollinger Parking Plaza. The Crossword tournament is being held in the Hilton Center for Business, Room 100. Signs will be posted from Drollinger to Hilton, to aid you in finding the room.
