Accommodation, Parking and Facilities

Accommodation

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Heldrich Hotel at 10 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901. The hotel has an indoor pool and fitness room, free wi-fi, and several dining possibilities. There is a fabulous wine bar and restaurant on the ground floor, not associated with the hotel, but certainly convenient. Conference rates are $109. There will be a conference code for you to use, and instructions for making reservations will appear in the August Newsletter. All activities relating to LASSO XLII will be held at the Heldrich.

Alternative lodging is available at the Rutgers University Inn and Conference Center. Current rates are $86.25, but they can’t confirm what they will be in September. It is about 1.25 miles from the Heldrich, but the reservation desk said you can’t walk the route because the area is somewhat “unsavory”. There is a free Rutgers shuttle (the EE or the F) that stops at the top of their parking lot and can drop you off near the Heldrich. You can also take the Rutgers shuttle from the train station if you are arriving in New Brunswick on NJTransit.

A good array of options for lunch and dinner are within a short walking distance from the Heldrich Hotel, but the registration fee will include lunch on Friday and Saturday.

Facilities

All of the conference rooms at the Heldrich Hotel are equipped with a computer, a USB connection for memory sticks, high-speed Internet connection, and computer projector. Please do not bring your laptop for your presentation; rather, save your Power Point on a memory stick to plug in to the USB connection. This will help avoid lost time due to incompatibility problems between systems.

Parking

There is a self-parking garage with overnight parking for $17 per night. Valet parking with unlimited exit and entry is available for $25 per night for overnight parking.
