We said we'd be negotiating with some more local-area hotels, and we're finally able to deliver on our promise! AnimeNEXT is pleased to announce that we've gotten some more discounted rates for two hotels near the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ for our convention from June 20 to June 22.

For folks who wish to stay in a hotel right next to the MEC, we've negotiated a rate with the Embassy Suites Secaucus Meadowlands of $189 per night (not including tax) for a double-occupancy suite. Attendees who don't mind staying a little further away can enjoy the comfort of the La Quinta Inn & Suites Secaucus Meadowlands with rates of $149 per night for a single-occupancy room, and a rate of $159 per night for a double-occupancy room.

Both hotels feature a complimentary continental breakfast, a swimming pool, and microwaves and refrigerators in all of the guest rooms. The La Qunita also offers free high-speed Internet access in its guest rooms while the Embassy Suites offers .mp3-equipped radios.
