To any local teams or veterans of the regional: Do you have any hotel recommendations? Since FIRST won't be providing packages this year, its probably worth looking into things early. What are nearby attractions for students to go to either on Thursday or at night? Is there a confirmed team social, and if so, where? Thanks to anyone who can help with details for new teams attending like us.

Being part of the planning committee, I think I can field these questions.
As far as hotels go, I would have to agree, don't stay in Trenton. The area is definately one that students don't want to be wandering around in after dark. I'll try to find the link for the NJ regional website, where we're compiling all the information that you may need. I'm not sure about attractions either...of course it's Jersey, so there are going to be like 1000 malls in walking distance.
As more information develops I'll keep you posted.
