Accommodations
Hotels
We have negotiated discount rates at three area hotels. Please request the Liang/Chen Wedding rate when making your reservations. They have agreed to honor these rates (see below for each hotel) for rooms booked by September 4, 2002.
All of the hotels should be less than a 15 minute drive from the University; taxi fare should be $12-20, see our Travel Information page for more taxi information. Please use this illustrative map (hotels circled in red, Princeton Jct. train station in blue) for reference, though note it is not to scale. The main gray road cutting diagonally across the map is Route 1.

*** UPDATE: The staff have informed us that this Marriott will be converted to a Westin hotel (part of the Starwood chain) as of September 20. They have assured us that all reservations will be kept, and our rates will stay the same, but we did want to alert all of you that on the day of the wedding, this hotel will be called the Westin Princeton. ***
Perhaps the nicest of these three hotels, located next to an outlet shopping mall (Forrestal Village.) Is a few minutes further from downtown Princeton, at about 8-12 minutes' driving time.
