Places to stay in and around Guilford
While we'd love to put all of you up, of course we can't actually do that. So, here's a partial list of hotels/motels in the area, in rough order of distance. I listed starting prices for as many as I found, but please don't hold me to any of it!
*In fact, a few of our friends have offered rooms in their houses for those who need them. If this sounds like your style, please email us!

Please let us know if you're planning to drive, so that we can figure out where to put all of your cars! If you're willing to take passengers, please reply to this post below.
Also, we will have a shuttle service on the day. If you're coming by train to New Haven, we can pick you up. Please let us know if you need a pickup!
Travelling by car:
The easiest way to get to Guilford from nearly anywhere is to take I-95. I think all of you will be coming from points south, so I will give directions accordingly:
Heading north on I-95:
Take Exit 57. At the end of the offramp;
Turn Right onto Route 1/Boston Post Road. Go about 1 mile. Pass three streets on the right (Peddlers Rd, Dunk Rock Rd, Three Mile Course). Cross over a small bridge.
Turn Right on River Street. This will be the fourth right on Route 1. There are gas stations on both sides of River Street at this corner. After a half-mile or so, River Street ends.
Turn Right onto Water Street. You'll cross another bridge soon, and then curve to the left going uphill. Go down into a marshy area and up another hill, and at the crest of this second hill;
Turn Right onto Wildrose Avenue. This is a steepish uphill turn, and rather sharp.
After less than 100 feet, turn left onto Chasse Drive, and then immediately left again into a gravel driveway. That's us! Drive up to the house, and we'll let you know where to go and park.
Travelling by train:
The train doesn't go all the way to Guilford on weekends, so you'll take it to New Haven and get to Guilford from there by other means. We will have a shuttle to pick you up if you need it--please let us know. Here are the details:
Metro-North New Haven Line from Grand Central Terminal, NYC. Trains run every hour--the schedule is here:
We recommend the 11:07 AM train so that everyone taking the train can get to New Haven at the same time, and we can pick you all up at once!
As a last resort, there is a taxi stand in front of the train station.
