Directions from the Hill Center to the University Inn and Conference Center

After exiting the parking lot onto Brett road, continue until the stop sign and turn right onto Bartholomew Road. At the traffic circle, go 3/4 of the way around and exit the circle. Then stay in the right lane which will place you on Route 18 South. Move out of the right lane which exits and continue on Route 18 South until Commercial Avenue and then turn right. Turn left at the first traffic light onto George Street. Continue on George Street until the road bends left and then take a right turn onto Ryders Lane (formerly Clifton Avenue). The University Inn and Conference Center entrance is the first driveway on your left.

If traffic on Route 18 is very heavy, there are several alternatives:

(1) Exit Route 18 at Burnett Street (the exit before Commercial Avenue). From there, one choice is to remain on a road that again joins Route 18 and so you would turn right on Commercial Avenue and proceed as above. A second choice is to fully exit onto Burnett street, turn left onto Neilson, right onto New Street, and then left onto George Street. Then follow the directions from George Street as above.

OR

(2) Exit at George Street, the second exit after entering Route 18. At the traffic light, go straight and follow George Street through New Brunswick (see map). Then follow the directions from George Street as above.

Directions from the University Inn and Conference Center to the Hill Center

Turn right at the parking lot exit. At the first intersection, you must turn right (which is why this is not exactly the reverse of the directions above). You can then make a U-turn by turning right at the traffic light which appears immediately, going around the loop, and turning left at the light. You are now back on George Street. Turn right at the traffic light at Commercial Avenue and then left at the first traffic light onto Route 18 North. Continue on Route 18 North over the John A. Lynch Memorial Bridge. (Ignore the "George Street Rutgers University" exit.) Exit Route 18 at Campus Road (the sign also says Rutgers Stadium and Busch Campus). At the traffic circle, turn right onto Bartholomew Road. At the stop sign, turn left onto Brett Road. Follow Brett road until it vanishes in a maze of parking lots. Park as indicated above.
