Lodging options
The three hotels closest to the conference are:
- The Heldrich Hotel is a full-service hotel in the heart of New Brunswick, with a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance. It is a frequent choice of participants at DIMACS events. The hotel is a 15-20 minute walk to the conference venue, which is about 0.7 miles (1.1 kilometers) away. The hotel has parking nearby, at an additional cost.
- The Hyatt Regency Hotel is another upscale lodging option in downtown New Brunswick, with a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel is a 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometer) walk from the conference venue. It has on-site parking at an additional cost.
- The Rutgers University Inn is a nice lower-priced option that is on the Rutgers campus. The Inn is 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometers) from the conference venue, so perhaps best for those who are either strong walkers or have a car. The Inn is relatively small, so if this is your preferred option, you should book as soon as possible. It has no on-site restaurant and relatively few dining options in the immediate vicinity. That said, there are many dining options in downtown New Brunswick near the conference venue. There is free parking on site at the Rutgers Inn.
Additionally, there are many other hotels that are within 5-6 miles of the conference venue that may offer more affordable options but would require driving to campus, either with a personal vehicle or a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft.
