March 23, 2026 update
Our event room rate at the Royal Plaza Best Western has now expired, so it is no longer possible to book a room at our group rate. At this point, if someone cancels a room, it can be rebooked through the Hotel (at whatever the current “market rate” is), but NEFFA will not get “credit” for that reservation in our room block. We want the Hotel as full of NEFFA folks as possible, for both financial and social reasons, so we hope the Hotel will stay fully booked up.
If you have booked a room you need to cancel at the Royal Plaza for NEFFA, please note that reservations are transferable. If you have friends who can use the room, please pass the reservation along to someone else, rather than canceling. To transfer a room reservation or to make adjustments to an existing reservation, please contact the Royal Plaza Best Western directly at 508-460-0700. (If you are transferring a room to someone else, don’t use the word “cancel”—you want to “transfer” a room. If a room is canceled, it does not count in our block, even if someone rebooks it, and the discounted rate can’t be recovered for that room.)
If you’re willing to transfer the reservation but don’t know anyone who wants it, please contact janet@neffa.org, and we’ll try to connect you with someone interested in booking a room.
The block of rooms at the nearby Hampton Inn is also full at this point, but until our group rate there expires (March 27, 2026), you can try that booking link, in case a room opens up: https://group.hamptoninn.com/64srg3. If you prefer, you may call the Hampton Inn directly, at 508-787-9888 to see if rooms are available at the NEFFA group rate.
There are also many other hotels nearby, but you’re on your own with those!
If you have problems or questions, contact janet@neffa.org.
