60th Lodging

Guys,

 

John Edie and Dave Marshak have worked very hard to find blocks of hotel rooms in the Princeton area, in a market where hotel rooms are in very  high demand.

 

You are strongly encouraged to make your reservations now.

 

The University has provided additional information (click here) about area hotels and shuttle service that you may find helpful.

 

ON CAMPUS BEDS

The Class was allocated 32 beds (not rooms) on campus. As of November 25, about 25 of these have been claimed, so you must act soon to get a bed. $255 for 3 nights per bed. We have no control over the location of these beds on campus, but we get some preference for beds near the Reunions site.

 

Contact John Edie If you are interested in on-campus accommodations at - johnedie66@gmail.com cell 301-325-2100

First come, first served.

 

 

SHUTTLE SERVICE TO/FROM HOTELS & MOTELS

For Princeton University Reunions 2026, shuttle service details, including routes, schedules, and vehicle types, will be updated on the Reunions website closer to the event date. In the past, Tiger Trolleys (air-conditioned, wheelchair-accessible) have replaced Rovers, offering a comfortable way to navigate campus. Hotel shuttles, often operating on loops, and the Wawa Transit Hub for ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, are also part of the transportation plan. 

 

Consider organizing a rideshare sign-up (similar to this template) for classmates to coordinate shared rides from airports and hotels.

 

On Campus Parking will have 1,800+ new spots with the opening of the Stadium and Meadows Drive garages.

 

HOTELS & MOTELS - ROOM BLOCKS

 

Note the hotels on the shuttle route or with Lyft vouchers are from 2025. There are no more Lyft vouchers. The final 2026 shuttle route isn’t available yet.

If you have questions or concerns contact – John Edie (301) 325-2100.
