Single Rooms

We ask that you share a double room. If you prefer a single room you will be charged the price difference of $110.00 per night during registration. Single rooms will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

NAFSA will only reserve hotel rooms for WLM dates. Any additional date requests unrelated to WLM will need to be made separately with the hotel and are not part of the WLM room block rate.
