The price will be $203/night per room, so $102/night for a shared room. Make your reservation now for our special room block.

Rooms can be cancelled 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 June 21, 2022 to July 1, 2022, for those who wish to explore the city before or after the convention.

Parking is $65 per night for hotel guests. Here are some alternatives:

Daily Parking: Many nearby parking lots are less expensive than the hotel. Google lists many options, as does spothero.com.

Overnight parking: Most nearby private facilities are as expensive as the hotel (see previous links). You might consider driving to the NY Waterway ferry terminal in NJ, parking there, and taking the ferry to NY Midtown. Waterway buses will drop you only a few blocks from the hotel. Overnight parking is $20 per day, and the ferry is $9.
