The Royal Plaza Best Western Hotel rooms for NEFFA booked up quickly, and they have been sold out for several weeks now. Our event room rate expires at the Best Western on March 23, and after that date, if someone cancels a room, even if it is rebooked (at whatever the current “market rate” is—certainly more expensive), NEFFA will not get “credit” for that reservation in our room block. We want the Hotel as full of NEFFA folks as possible, so please consider the following:
If you have booked a room at the Royal Plaza Best Western for NEFFA, and your plans have changed, so that you know you won’t need a room, please cancel your reservation now, so that someone else can book the room at NEFFA’s group rate before March 23.
If you want to book a room at the Hotel, keep an eye on the Best Western booking link on the NEFFA Lodging Page, and you might get lucky and catch a room someone cancels. (The Hotel does not keep a waiting list. NEFFA does not have an official waiting list, although we can sometimes help facilitate room transfers, so it’s worth being in touch if you’re wanting a room.)
If you find you need to cancel a reservation after March 23, if you have friends who can use the room, reservations are transferable, so please pass the reservation along if you can, rather than canceling. Information on how to do that will be posted on the NEFFA Lodging Page on March 23.
There are still rooms available at the nearby Hampton Inn. Rooms are more expensive than at the Royal Plaza, but it is very convenient. Act quickly, as that group rate expires March 27.
There are also many other hotels nearby, but you’re on your own with those!
