Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.

Boston College holds its main ceremony at Alumni Stadium, usually in May. On our map, 1 place to stay sits no more than about a 20-minute walk from it, none inside 10. 2026 ceremony (Monday, May 18, 2026 per BC's commencement site, which names no venue itself).
Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.
