Accommodation

The most convenient hotel for ISSME 2025 is the Hilton Garden Inn: 15 Nevins Road, Wayne, New Jersey, 07470, USA.

** This hotel has a special rate for William Paterson University events; the cost per room per night is $156, but do not be fooled; US hotels bafflingly prefer to list prices without taxes and without the tax rate – even though everyone has to pay all the taxes. And so when you go to pay, the hotel just gives you a whole different price than advertised or expected. It’s confusing and may be experienced as exhilarating.
*** The discounted room rate is only available by phone: +1 973-878-1007 ***

Another convenient hotel on the same road and with a William Paterson room rate is Residence Inn, Wayne, 30 Nevins Road, Wayne, NJ 07470 USA.
