Make your reservation now for our special room block.
Although Convention registration will open May 27, 1:00 pm EDT, we encourage early registration for the hotel, as the room block may sell out. Rooms can be canceled without penalty up until 72 hours (3 days) prior to 6:00 pm EST of the check-in day, so there is no downside to reserving early. The OrigamiUSA rate is available from the night of July 14, 2025 through the night of July 26, 2025, for those who wish to explore the city before or after the convention. There is also a limited number of rooms available at our room rate for several days before and after Convention.
Where to Go When You Arrive
When you enter the hotel, check-in is on the left; banks of room elevators are on the right.
At the end of the main lobby, there is a ramp off to the right, which you will follow to get to the Convention activities (typically after you've dropped off your bags at your room).
Elevators
The elevators in the hotel are somewhat unusual. First, there are two separate banks of elevators that access different sets of floors, so when you learn your room, check out which bank of elevators to use for your room and events.
Second, instead of selecting your floor inside the elevator, you'll push a button for your floor outside the elevator, then watch for the elevator to arrive that will include your floor as a destination (your floor number will appear outside the elevator). Once you're inside an elevator, there's no way to select a different floor.
Parking
Parking is $85 per night for hotel guests. Here are some alternatives:
Daily Parking: Many nearby parking lots are less expensive than the hotel.
Overnight parking: Most nearby private facilities are as expensive as the hotel. You might consider driving to the NY Waterway ferry terminal in NJ, and then traveling from there to the hotel.
