HOW TO RESERVE HOTEL ROOMS:
Call the Nassau Inn (hotel website) (800-862-7728 or 609-92-7500) and ask for the Princeton Geometry Workshop block or room block #12191. You have to make reservations individually and they will ask you for a credit card number to hold the room. We have asked Nassau Inn to bill us directly for all invited attendees. If you need to cancel, you have to give the hotel 24 hrs notice or we will get billed for the room.

When you check in to the hotel, please carry a picture ID for security reasons.

IMPORTANT:
Our room block has expired on Sept 29, however you can still ask for the Princeton room rate and see if it’s available. No guarantees though. The Nassau Inn is very popular (the only large hotel in downtown) and tends to get booked up. Reserve your room as soon as you can !

Other inns in Princeton area (not walking distance, but will probably be able to arrange a shuttle to the university):
