March 20 Update:
Our event room rate at the Royal Plaza Best Western expired on March 18, 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. (Once it’s canceled, it does not count in our block, even if someone rebooks it, and the rate at which it can be rebooked will certainly be higher than our group rate.) If you’re willing to transfer the reservation but don’t know anyone who wants it, please contact janet@neffa.org, and we can connect you with someone interested in booking a room.
If you want to transfer a room reservation or if you need to make adjustments to an existing reservation, please contact the Royal Plaza directly at 508-460-0700. If you have any questions, contact janet@neffa.org.
Our group rate at the nearby Hampton Inn has also expired (March 19). There are many lodging options in the area, but you’ll need to do your own research to find them.
While NEFFA is not in a position to facilitate rooms or official arrangements, we have set up a Room-share spreadsheet. More information on our Roomshare page
